Cleveland Guardians vs. St. Louis Cardinals. The St. Louis Cardinals are the MLB’s selection to win this game. In their previous seven games, the Cardinals had won five of their road games and four of their home games. They are offensively potent, scoring 18 runs in their past four road games. Expect them to play well offensively in this game since they did a decent job batting against right-handers and Bibee struggled on the mound, giving up seven runs in his past three appearances. Because Cleveland’s bullpen is also struggling during their slump, they will have a hard time slowing down the Cardinals in this game. The Guardians have lost five of their past six games overall and four of their last seven at home.
Just five runs were scored in their past three home games during their recent offensive slump. Their offensive problems are likely to persist in this game since they have issues scoring against right-handers and Flaherty had lately been productive, allowing six runs in his previous three outings. After allowing just one run in his previous start against the Guardians, he will once more restrain their offensive output. The money line should be covered by St. Louis. It is expected that the St. Louis Cardinals will triumph 7-3.
