Because Sonny Gray’s most recent start was pushed back several days and Wade Miley is dealing with an injury, Cincinnati Reds rookie Tejay Antone will make the fourth start of his MLB career on Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Here is what you need to know heading into the game.
The line: Cardinals (-136)
Over/under: 8 (-115)
Probable pitchers: Tejay Antone (2.49 ERA) vs. Dakota Hudson (3.19)
Best bets
Cardinals total runs in first five innings: Under 2.5 (-150)
If there were an award given to the best rookie pitcher in each league, Antone might be the favorite in the National League.
