St. Louis Cardinals Analysis

The St. Louis Cardinals ended the season on a sour note, losing six of their last eight games. Their offense has been stagnant, scoring three runs or less in seven of their last nine games. In their final game, the Cardinals got a good performance from Zack Thompson, who went 5.1 innings and allowed only one earned run on five hits while striking out five batters. PitcherRom was not as successful, going 1-2 in his last three starts with an 8.25 ERA and 2.08 WHIP, and giving up eight runs (six earned) on 11 hits in his most recent start. Furthermore, injuries are plaguing the Cardinals, as six key players - including outfielders Dylan Carlson, Tyler O'Neill, and Alec Burleson, third baseman Nolan Arenado, catcher Wil Contreras, and second baseman Nolan Gorman - are on the 10-day injured list. In terms of rankings, the Cardinals have a power ranking of 24, and are #18 for offense (scoring an average of 4.43 per game), #24 for defense (giving up an average of 5.06 points per game), and have an overall record of 77-85. Cincinnati was the superior team in their recent matchups, going 2-1 in their last 3 clashes against St. Louis. Tommy Four Bags! #STLCards pic.twitter.com/2vJdoEKdE5

Reds Riding High on Road as Cardinals Struggle at Home Heading into Friday Showdown

The Reds have been successful on the road in 2023, winning four of their last six series, including a sweep of the Angels in Los Angeles. Cincinnati scored 30 runs in their three-game set against St. Louis earlier this season, and has batted .272 with a .438 slugging percentage across their 10 matchups. Three of the Reds' four starts with Phillips at the helm have been wins. The Cardinals, on the other hand, have lost three of their last four home games and stand with six regulars on the injury list. St. Louis has won 42.3% of their games at Busch Stadium this season, compared to the Reds' 56% away win rate. With the Reds battling for playoff security and the Cardinals playing for the future, Cincinnati looks to be the team to watch in this Friday game.
