Cincinnati Reds (A. DeSclafani -R) -118 vs. St. Louis Cardinals (D. Hudson -R)

I’m on the Big Red Machine tonight over the Cardinals in St. Louis. The Cardinals are finally playing games again after what was about 2 weeks off due to their COVID outbreak. I am backing an old favorite, DeSclafani, who I expect to get back into form from the difficulty he seems to be having this year (6.23 ERA / 4.75 xFIP). This pick is also a fade of Dakota Hudson (and generally all dudes named Dakota). Hudson has had similar K/9 and HR/9 (2.16 each) as Desclafani but sports a higher BABIP (3.04). I came in to this season backing the Reds to win the division, pennant and threw down on a World Series future. I expect them to get back on track tonight.
