Cincinnati Reds
In each of his five starts in August, Anthony DeSclafani went into or through the seventh inning. He’s made fifteen straight starts after spending the first two months of the regular season on the DL, so for him, this is the middle of his season.

I think DeSclafani will continue to pitch well but I doubt that he’ll keep St. Louis off the board for six or seven innings. A low-end quality start would be a positive result.
That leaves it up to Cincinnati’s offense against Luke Weaver, which is one it can win. The Cardinals will likely be appropriate favorites for this game.
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals were behind 2–0 after the first inning on Friday night but Austin Gomber put his team on the board with a two-out, two-run double over Billy Hamilton’s head in center and then settled down to pitch six scoreless innings after the tough first.

It just feels like the Cardinals’ offense is good for five or six runs a night and in the rare instance it fails to get there, the pitching steps up. I don’t see the run slowing down yet.
But the bullpen might have a Brett Cecil problem. He got bombed in the eighth on Friday. It was his second dud in his last three appearances and fourth time allowing three runs in an inning out of his last nine games. For the time being, St. Louis doesn’t have a good lefty option out of the ‘pen, which could play a factor if it remains the case in the playoffs.
