I rather like both pitchers' O/U outs recorded totals but let's go Cincinnati's Andrew Abbott considering his is 15.5 and Miles Mikolas' total is 17.5 -- although I might come back and play Miles too or the game total. Abbott has gone at least 5.2 innings in two of three career starts vs. the Cards and in five of his past seven this year. Winds might be blowing in a touch at Busch Stadium. The SL Model has Abbott at 6.0 innings.

We hope we aren't a bit late with the Cardinals, who have been on a nice 10-4 uptick the past two weeks to move right in the middle of the NL wild card race while reminding the Brewers to start looking over their shoulders in the Central. We suggest there's some more run left in this streak, thanks in part to improved pitching from the likes of Miles Mikolas, who is well beyond his slow start early in the season and is enjoying a productive June, posting a 2.49 ERA this month while the Redbirds have won in 3 of his 4 starts. Note the Reds have cooled down considerably, losing 8 of 11 into Busch this weekend. Play Cards on Run Line
