The Cardinals are in Cincinnati to face the division-leading Reds in what has turned into the biggest season series for the Redbirds so far.
The Redbirds will face the Reds in a 3-game series, with each club sending 3 of its top hurlers to the mound. The Cardinals are coming off a short 2-game split with the Marlins in Florida after the Sunday rubber match was rained out. The Reds come in as one of the hottest teams in baseball, fresh off a series sweep over the Cubbies in Chicago.
The Cardinals will send Chris Carpenter, Jaime Garcia, and Adam Wainwright to the mound, who are unarguably the Cardinals top starters this season with a combined record of 37-14.
The Reds send Mike Leake, Jonny Cueto, and Bronson Arroyo to the mound with a combined record of 30-11.
The Cardinals need to win at least 2 games in the series to remain a game behind in the Central and could even move into first place with a sweep. However, the Reds are playing great baseball and it should make for a great series between the NL Central leaders.
