Pitching today are Hunter Greene for the Reds and Andre Pallante for the Cardinals.
Greene is having a less than stellar rookie season. He's had a few strong starts showing signs of promise, but as of right now, he holds an ERA of 5.70.
On the other end of the spectrum is Pallante, who is having a terrific rookie season. He's bounced between starting and relieving and has looked solid in both roles.

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals Betting Odds
Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals Best Picks
Pallante is averaging over six hits in his starts, making his line appropriately placed at 5 1/2. As one of the worst teams in the league, Cincinnati can't even average eight hits a game. Pallante is the kind of starter that only goes five or six innings. He should be able to hold the Reds to fewer than five runs.
Andre Pallante to Allow Under 5.5 Hits (+104)
Five of Pallante's last 10 games have had a run in the first inning, and Green has allowed a run in the first in three of his last 10 games. Of course, a rookie's inconsistency can make them hard to bet on. However, with two young pitchers, you can count on one allowing a run in the first.
A Run to be Scored in the First Inning (-133)
Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
The Cardinals should take this series with ease. They have an easy first game, as it's a simple match-up for Pallante, and Greene is an easy match-up for Cardinals' bats.
St. Louis -1.5 (+122)
