Cards +114 over Reds
Love the Cards in this afternoons matinee game.
Cards lineup pretty much have had their own way in the past against Cueto.
Beltran is .364 versus Cueto lifetime.
Berkman has taken Cueto deep twice, is 7-25 versus Cueto (.280)
Holliday is .350 (7-20)
Jon Jay owns Cueto, 8 for 15, 2 homers, .533
Y. Molina .292
Overall, the entire dugout lifetime is .292 lifetime versus Cueto, and more importantly, own a lifetime .390 OBA
.390 OBA translates into just about 2 out of every 5 batters reach base, men on base = runs scored.
Jamie Garcia starts for St. Louis, he's the bipolar opposite of Cueto in this spot.
Only Reds starter that has any sort of success in the past against Garcia is Drew Stubbs, 5 for 17, but he's a strike out waiting to happen.
Votto can't touch him, Brandon Phillips hasn't hit Garcia in the past either.
The whole team can't hit him.
Lifetime, the Reds lineup is 28 for 133 lifetime against Garcia (.211) and an embarrassing .276 OBA
On paper, I understand games are played on the field, but on paper, this is a serious starting pitching mismatch.
Getting +114 with the Cards and Garcia with their lineup today can not be ignored.
