This is a 7* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the St. Louis Cardinals.
We think it's safe to say that the Cards' attitude right now would be: "Enough is enough!" St. Louis now sits 1.5 games behind the Marlins for the second Wild Card spot after losing six of its last eight, including two straight to the lowly Braves most recently. Here's the perfect opponent to get untracked against, the Reds turn to the volatile Cody Reed (0-6, 7.30 ERA) who was rocked for five runs off eight hits and a walk over five innings vs. St. Louis late last week. Reed is struggling in every facet of the game and owns a pathetic 4:3 K:BB in his last ten innings of work. He's also allowed a disturbing 11 home and note that he's been particularly horrible on the road this year, 0-3 with a 6.97 ERA thus far. Michael Wacha (7-7, 4.35) is having a down season, but he's certainly been a lot better than Reed. Wacha most recently gave up two runs off six hits over five innings in a win over Cincinnati on Wednesday. Wacha has now gone 5-0 over his last eight starts and his 3.94 xFIP and 3.66 FIP (the best indicators of future ERA), both suggest that the hard-throwing right-hander is poised to bring his numbers back down to career levels sooner rather than later. It's the wrong place and the wrong time for Reed and the Reds, lay the price with confidence on the hungry CARDINALS.
