Brady Singer's 6.18 ERA this season has made him the easy villain in this matchup, but Singer against St. Louis specifically reads differently — 2-3 with a 3.04 ERA in five career starts versus the Cardinals. The market is anchored to the season-long narrative and missing the more relevant split. Kyle Leahy has won three straight decisions, but not against this offense: he carries a 7.20 ERA in nine career appearances against Cincinnati, and his most recent look at this lineup — May 23 — produced five runs allowed in a no-decision in a game the Reds came back to win in 11 innings. Take Cincinnati.
