Bet on Cardinals vs. Reds

It’s impossible to trust Bailey even after he comes off a solid outing. The Cardinals have already shelled him this year and their offense comes in hot. Martinez tends to bounce back strongly after bad starts and St. Louis is still in the mix for the second NL Wild Card spot. Bet accordingly.
