Cincinnati Reds (60-65) and St. Louis Cardinals (64-62) will clash in Game 3 of this five-game series on Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park. The Reds bounced back from their narrow 1-2 defeat on Sunday night, defeating the Cardinals 6-5 on Monday. It was a great win for De La Cruz, who delivered his first career walk-off in the tenth to split this doubleheader. However, bookies don’t fancy their winning chances tonight, listing them as the -105 underdogs.
The Cardinals, on the other side of the grass, will be feeling disappointed after the Reds pulled off a dramatic comeback to win on Monday. They were leading the match 4-1 before allowing the hosts to rally in the sixth and eventually clinch the win. This defeat ended their three-game winning run, which included a 4-11 blowout win over the Cubs. Based on this form, the Cardinals are the -125 betting favorites tonight.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
Our money is on the Cardinals to win tonight thanks to their superior form. They’re 6-4 in their last 10 matches and are 32-28 on the road. This record shows a team that’s comfortable playing away from home. The visitors will start the usually dependable Kyle Leahy, who is 9-4 this season with a solid 3.34 ERA. He has allowed just two runs in the last five matches. However, we cannot wish away Cincinnati’s Andrew Abbott, who is 5-6 this season with a 3.85 ERA. He can command his area well if he gets off to a strong start tonight. Still, we think Leahy gives the visitors an edge here.
Our prediction for Cincinnati Reds vs St. Louis Cardinals: St Cardinals to win.
