4 Unit Play. Take the St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 (+129) over the Cincinatti Reds (Monday @ 8:15pm est). Kyle Lohse comes off one of his worst starts of his career giving up 7 runs in less than 3 innings in an 0-9 loss to the Mets on the road. He returns home where he has given up just 2 runs over his last 16 innings. Tack that on with the fact he gave up 7 runs to the Reds on the road on May 9th and lost 3-8 in that contest, he has revenge so to speak coming into today - as well as on the bounce-back. Cueto has struggled of late as he is 0-5 in his last six starts with a 9.85era. He was dominant in the first half of the season but has struggled lately. He has defeated the Cardinals twice this year and it is very difficult for a pitcher to defeat a team three times in one year. I look for a solid outing from Lohse and the Cardinals to have a beat on Cueto's pitches this evening. The Reds are 2-12 when they are an underdog by this margin and the Cardinals are 8-1 when the total is set at this range.
Indian Cowboy 8/10
