SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION (EARLY AFTERNOON FIRST PITCH!)
(MLB) Cincinnati vs. St. Louis, 04/08/2017 10:15 AM, Score: 4 - 10
Money Line: -173.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the St. Louis Cardinals.

For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitching and in this case, we feel that Michael Wacha has a major advantage over his suspect counterpart, so much so that we have on problems whatsoever in laying this larger price. In fact, we definitely feel this line should be a lot larger.

Bronson Arroyo: In his most recent spring start, Arroyo allowed three home runs over 4.1 innings of work. Arroyo hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2014.

Michael Wacha: He's coming off his worst ever campaign, but he had a strong spring, finishing with a 2.42 ERA and 22 strikeouts over his 26 frames. Note that he's also 6-1 with a 3.07 ERA in 14 appearances against the Reds.

The bottom line: Wacha is also 8-3 with a 2.65 ERA in 15 career starts in April. The Cards pitching has looked great this year, but the offense has been atrocious. Behind a concerted effort though, expect that to change in a big way this afternoon. Lay the price with confidence, play on the CARDINALS.
