St. Louis Cardinals vs. Cleveland Guardians The MLB pick for this game is the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals triumphed in five of their previous seven away games and four of their previous six home games.
They scored 18 runs in their last four away contests and are offensively strong.
Since they did a good job batting against right-handers and Bibee struggled on the mound, giving up seven runs in his last three outings, expect them to play well offensively in this game.
Cleveland will have difficulty slowing down the Cardinals in this game because their bullpen is also having difficulty during their skid. Five of the last six matches and four of the last seven at home were losses for the Guardians.
They had trouble in their recent offensive slump, scoring just five runs in their last three home games.
Because they had trouble scoring against right-handers and Flaherty was effective recently, giving up six runs in his past three starts, their offensive troubles will likely continue in this game.
He will again contain the Guardians’ offense after allowing just one run in his previous start against them. St. Louis should cover the money line. The St. Louis Cardinals will win by a predicted score of 7-3.
