How to bet Sunday night's Reds-Cards matchup

MLB, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds

The second week of the MLB season wraps up on Sunday Night Baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals making a repeat performance. And the Cardinals are at the same spot they were after their 3-0 opening-night win over the Chicago Cubs: in first place in the NL Central.

St. Louis is 7-3 on the young season and comes into tonight's game against Cincinnati on a four-game winning streak. The Cards also have won four straight against the Reds after dropping the first game of their series last weekend in Cincinnati, then winning the last two games of that series and picking up where they left off with wins in St. Louis on Friday and Saturday. The Cardinals will be no worse than tied for the NL Central lead after tonight, depending on what the Cubs, a game back at 6-4, do during the day.

It's too early to call this a must-win situation for the Cincinnati Reds, but at 5-6, they need a victory to avoid falling 3½ games back.

Let's have Joe Peta and Andrew Lange take opposing views on which side provides more betting value on tonight's matchup, and then I'll make a case for the over/under.
