The UNDER is 10-1 in the past 11 Lance Lynn starts, despite seeing very low closing OU values when the Cardinal stud takes the hill.
The visiting Cincinnati Reds hope to pick up a win at Busch Stadium against the St. Louis Cardinals, as they send Raisel Iglesias to the hill (1-2 so far). Part of the run of UNDERs is Lynn's excellent performance. Part is the fact the Cards don't support him with many runs and he ranks eighth worst in the majors with just 2.83 runs per game (for pitchers with at least 10 starts).
The total opened at 7.5 but may move down.
