Pick

I’m sticking with the Reds here. Andrew Abbott looked really good in his debut and I was impressed that he was dominant in hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark and now he gets a start at pitcher-friendly Busch Stadium and I’m still not all that sold on the Cardinals if I’m being honest. I think the Reds hold some serious value here so give me Cincinnati.
