MLB Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Reds vs. Cardinals
- Leg 1: Over 8 (-115)
- Leg 2: Hunter Greene under 6.5 strikeouts (-136)
- Leg 3: Joey Votto 2+ total bases (+145)
The Reds have the offense to be a contender. In fact, they score more runs per game than the Brewers who sit in first place in their division (4.42 for CIN vs. 4.27 for MIL). The reason the Reds are 12 games behind in the division is squarely on the pitching. They're last with a 5.40 ERA, 27th with a 1.427 WHIP, and 23rd with a -54 run differential.
Hunter Greene has shown he can be good. The blazing fastball can reach 100 MPH, and if the slider is working, he's untouchable. The control has gotten better. Previously he’s allowed three or more walks in multiple starts, but he hasn't allowed a free pass in his last two. That control wasn’t there in his last start against St. Louis, as he allowed four walks in just 3.1 innings. The Cardinals are a disciplined team with the 11th-most walks in the league and they’ll work the count against Greene.
The Reds rookie was just five years old when the opposing pitcher Adam Wainwright made his debut. Wainwright doesn't seem like a guy that’s possibly in his swan song as he comes in with a 2.73 ERA and a hard-hit percentage near the 90th percentile. The Reds did get to him in his last start back in April as he allowed four earned and walked three in the loss.
You have to feel like this game will play out with a higher score. There is a long history between Wainwright and Joey Votto, he's done well batting .317 lifetime.
