After sharing the opening two matchups of their series, the St Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds meet in a crucial series decider at Busch Stadium on Sunday evening.
The Reds produced one of their best defensive displays of the season to claim a 2-4 victory in game one, before the Cardinals bounced back with a comprehensive 7-0 shutout win in game two.
Those results have left the Reds still mired to the bottom of the National League Central standings, but only five games behind the Cardinals in what is arguably the strongest division in the league.
The Cardinals are currently third in the table with a 53-51 season record, and whilst they are effectively out of the running for the divisional title, a strong end to the season could see them force their way into one of the National League wild card places.

Our St. Louis Cardinals vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
The Reds have been in decent form over the last few weeks, but we are still reluctant to back them, even against a Cardinals side that are not quite at their best currently.
As the first two games of the series demonstrated, the Reds are not blessed with explosive firepower on offense, so whilst the Cardinals have had a few recent problems on the mound, we do expect them to be able to keep Cincinnati quiet and eke out an important victory.
Our prediction for St Louis Cardinals vs Cincinnati Reds is: Cardinals to win and under 10 runs.
