Cardinals vs Reds – Free Baseball Pick and Preview 8-15-08
August 15, 2008
The Cardinals have something imporant in this game that the Reds do not, and that is motivation. The Cardinals are still very much in the race for the NL Wildcard and a chance for the playoffs. The Reds are deep into rebuilding mode without much to prove with the rest of their 2008 campaign. St. Louis is riding into this game on some nice trends. They are 8-2 in their last 10 overall and 7-2 on the road against right-handed starters. The Cards also have a starter in Brad Thompson that they are 6-0 behind when he starts against NL Central opponents. When I said the Reds were ready to move on, I meant it. Cincinnati has lost 19 of their last 26 overall including 10 of their last 11 against right-handed starters, plus they’ve lost 6 in a row at home. You simply can’t underestimate the motivation factor in this game, and that’s why the Cards are an easy play on Friday.
