Pretty evenly matched series. 5-3 gm1 and 3-2 gm2. Might be a close game either way. I think the advantages for Stl outweighs the advantages for Cinn, to edge them out tonight. Here's the way I see them.
Advantages for Cinn:
25-16 at home.
Phillips is batting .412 versus Westbrook. Plus he's hot to boot.
Chapman
Advantages for Stl:
23-22 on the road.
Westbrook 2.94 road era this season. 3-1 lifetime, 3.75 era versus the Reds.
Votto batting .111 lifetime versus Westbrook.
Holliday batting .389 versus Bailey.
Bailey 1-4 at home with 5.86 era; 2-6 with 5.72 lifetime era versus Stl.
Bailey has allowed 16 hrs in 104 innings.
Westbrook has allowed 8 hrs in 105 innings.
Mental focus to avoid sweep.
good luck
