Well, the Reds have more cards first off. More pitching too, with the Cards only having Chris Carpenter. BUT the Cardinals have the Pujols 1/1 on their side! Will it be enough?

Jay Bruce vs Matt Holliday
Maybe in a few years this would be a tougher decision, even a tie, but as it stands now, Holliday's gonna win
Reds-8 Cardinals-7

Joey Votto vs Rick Ankiel
Votto's still on his way up while it looks like Ankiel might be back on his way down. Votto gives the Reds their first win in the round.
Reds- 8 Cardinals- 6

Scott Rolen vs Albert Pujols
Unless you're on a severe budget, you're gonna take Pujols anytime over anyone.
Reds-7 Cardinals- 6


Scott Rolen "Red" vs Ryan Ludwick
The Reds fire back with another Rolen, only the Red parallel this time. Reds are back up by 2.
Reds-7 Cardinals- 5

Brandon Phillips vs Tyler Greene RC
This was one that the Cards really needed to win. With this, all that's is the Pujols 1/1 so this could have made it 2 in a row tying it up. But it didn't, the Reds pull a little farther ahead.
Reds-7 Cardinals-4

Brandon Phillips "Red" vs Albert Pujols "Unique Bat Barrels" #1/1

The Cards put up a great fight, but the Reds have pretty much clinched at this point. They're up by 2 and they have a pitching insert... the Cards don't. Let's see how it plays out.

Easssssyyy, Carpenter wins.
Reds-5 (0) Cardinals- 4 (1)

Johnny Cueto vs Chris Carpenter
Carpenters got 2 in a row!
Reds- 4 (0) Cardinals- 4 (1)

Johnny Cueto "Unparalleled Performances" vs Chris Carpenter
Well, the cardinals were able to make it interesting and fend off the insert until the end, but the inevitable happened.
Reds- 4 (1) Cardinals- 3 (0)

Pitching Advantage- Reds

Final Score- Reds- 4
Cardinals- 2
