Before making any Cardinals vs. Reds picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions fro m the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is 280-240 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season, returning over $500 for $100 players. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.
The model knows St. Louis first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is looking to kick off the second half in style. Goldschmidt is a complete hitter with consistent home run power.
