St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals trail the Chicago Cubs by a lone game in the NL Central. St. Louis has won straight games since snapping a five-game losing streak. St. Louis has relied on their pitching most of the season as they have allowed only 502 runs on the season.
Paul Goldschmidt leads the Cardinals on offense with 26 homers and 85 RBI’s. Marcell Ozuna has produced as well with 22 homers in only 87 games. If the Cardinals want to be a threat they must improve on putting the ball in play. As a team they are only batting .243.

The Cardinals have Michael Wacha on the mound for Thursday night’s showdown. Wacha has been disappointing this season with a 6-5 record and a 5.54 ERA. The problem has been walks as he has an alarming 42 in just 89.1 innings. In two outings against the Reds he went four scoreless innings.
Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds are a long shot to make the postseason.
The team stands at 56-62, and they are 7.5 games behind the Chicago Cubs who leads the NL Central. They are also 6.5 in back of the St. Louis Cardinals who hold the second NL Wild Card spot. If the Reds want to have any shot at making the playoffs this is a must-win game against a team that they’re looking to catch. The reason for the Reds struggles is their inconsistent offense (538 runs).
The leader of the offense is certainly Eugenio Suarez. Suarez has 33 homers and 75 RBI’s on the season. Jose Iglesias has been solid with a .292 average and eight homers.
