Cincinnati Reds vs St. Louis Cardinals: Prediction and Odds on the Match on April 28, 2025

Prediction for Major League Baseball for the 28th of April 2025. This fixture will see the Cincinnati Reds play St. Louis Cardinals at the Great American Ball Park. Ahead of this game, the two teams won their last series and will be in good form. Which team keeps things running? I will preview this game and offer the best betting possibilities. 

Cincinnati Reds: Form and Statistics

The Cincinnati Reds have their own destiny in their hands and it is left to see what they do with it. After a number of inconsistent and poor performances, this team found a breakthrough in their last series. However, prior series to that win saw them lose to the Miami Marlins, where they won only the finale to avoid a sweeping loss. 

Against the Colorado Rockies, the Cincinnati Reds secured a flawless victory. In the opener, the Cincinnati Reds won 8-7 and 4-6 in game two. However, their finale performance was brilliant, securing a 1-8 win. Ahead of this game, the Cincinnati Reds have a 15-13 record, leaving them 8th in the National League standings.

The Cincinnati Reds have projected Nick Martinez on the mound for this opening game. This season, Martinez has been struggling with a 0-3 record. He has an average earned run of 5.40 and 23 strikeouts. 

St. Louis Cardinals: Form and Statistics

The St. Louis Cardinals showed what they can offer in their last series against the Milwaukee Brewers and it is now left for them to be able to repeat that feat week in and week out. While this team has not had the best of their performances this season, there is a very urgent need for them to improve, as they will definitely hope for a spot in the playoffs. In the meantime, the St. Louis Cardinals will definitely know this is another tough game they have to bring their A-game to, especially while they have not had much luck in series away from their ground. 

In their last series, the St. Louis Cardinals needed an early solid performance to win. In the opener, they battled to a 3-2 win and the second game also ended with a one-run win in a 6-5 contest. However, the St. Louis Cardinals lost 1-7 in the finale of this series, only scoring in the fifth inning, which had no impact at the end of the game. Ahead of this game, the St. Louis Cardinals have a 12-16 record this season, leaving them 13th in the standings with a 0.429 PCT.

Cincinnati Reds vs St. Louis Cardinals Match Prediction 28 April 2025

The Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals have not been up there this season and will have to display what they can offer here. In the meantime, the two teams' recent performances have shown improvements and it now remains to be seen how well they pick themselves up from now. In recent matches, the St. Louis Cardinals have struggled much more than they have enjoyed, and their recent win against the Milwaukee Brewers can be said to be a fluke. On the other hand, the Cincinnati Reds are no different but this side has now won four matches in a row, and everything looks possible as they are favoured heading into this fixture.

 This is going to be a tough game where the two teams will be focused on winning, as they definitely will consider a playoff spot. However, at home, I feel the Cincinnati Reds will have a lot of support from their fans, which should be a confidence boost. While I do not expect the St. Louis Cardinals to give in easily in this game either, they should be able to score a number of runs here.
