The Cincinnati Reds will play the St. Louis Cardinals in Major League Baseball at the Great American Ball Park. This game will be the second of a three-game series. Let’s preview this encounter and provide betting opportunities. 

Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds got things right in the opener of this series as they won by five runs in a game that ended 6-1. However, this team will know this will not be an easy task despite coming in as favorites. The Cincinnati Reds have a 6-4 record in their last ten matches. Also, the Cincinnati Reds have two wins and two defeats in their last four series. With a record of 58-61, the Cincinnati Reds are seated 11th in the National League.

St. Louis Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals would have hoped for a better performance in the opener of this series but will now have to step up to expectations. In a game where they scored just one run, a win for this team in game two will see them even the series and have a chance to win in the finale. However, the St. Louis Cardinals have a poor record of 4-6 in their last ten matches. St. Louis Cardinals record in the National League dropped to 60-59, leaving them seated 9th. 

Expert Betting Tips

I will take the Reds in game two, as I like what I saw from them in the opener. The St. Louis Cardinals do not look up to the task and have not stepped up to expectations, as they scored just one run in game 1. However, while I feel they will do better in this one, I still believe the Cincinnati Reds will be able to find their way and secure another win.
