Atlanta Braves vs St Louis Cardinals Predictions 4/3/2023

In the meantime, St. Louis comes into the series with a 1-1 record following their 4-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.

Although pitcher Jack Flaherty managed to pitch five hitless innings for the Cardinals, his seven walks and a hit batter were cause for concern.

St. Louis managed to secure a win thanks to three unearned runs. St. Louis began their season with a 10-9 loss to the Blue Jays.

First baseman Paul Goldschmidt currently leads St. Louis with a .500 batting average and has four hits to his name. Tyler O’Neill and Brendan Donovan have each contributed a home run, while Nolan Arenado has three RBIs to his name.

On Monday, Jake Woodford will take to the mound for St. Louis. Woodford achieved a 1-4 record last season, with a 2.23 ERA and 24 strikeouts.

The Cardinals will turn to Jake Woodford as the organization looks for its third straight victory. The right-hander made 27 total appearances last year, only one of which was a start.

Woodford posted a 4-0 record to go along with a 1.12 WHIP over 48.1 innings. St. Louis’ offensive outburst has them sitting fourth overall in the league in runs scored at 22.

As for the baseline metrics, they’re first overall in team batting average (.373) and second in OPS (1.017). You can speak highly of a plethora of players on this roster; however, I’ll focus on the reigning N.L. MVP, Paul Goldschmidt.

The star first baseman is leading the team with a .500 batting average and six total hits.

The total went Over at 4-0-1 in the Cardinals’ last 5 games following a win.
The Cardinals are 1-6 in their last 7 after scoring 5 runs or more in their last game.

Atlanta Braves Jays vs St. Louis Cardinals. The MLB pick for this game is the Atlanta Braves. The early part of the season has seen both Atlanta and St. Louis putting up impressive numbers on the scoreboard, which leads us to favor the OVER bet in their upcoming game.

The Braves are currently averaging 7.00 runs per game, while St. Louis is managing an average of 6.5 runs per game.

Furthermore, recent statistics indicate that the OVER bet has been a winner in four out of the last five games Atlanta has played on the road, as well as in four out of the last five games St. Louis has played at home in Busch Stadium.

Our prediction for the final score is that the Atlanta Braves will emerge victorious, but we feel that the best bet is to wager on the OVER, which we expect to end with a final score of 7-6.
