The Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals face off on Monday in an MLB showdown at Busch Stadium. The Phillies have won two of the first three games of this series.
The Phillies currently sit with a 46-40 record and even though they have won two of the three games of this series, the offense hasn’t been exactly great as of late. The Phillies have only scored six runs total in the three games. Overall this season the Phillies are averaging 4.76 runs per game which is 4th best in the league. Kyle Schwarber has hit 28 home runs and driven in 57 RBIs.
On the other side of this matchup is the Cardinals who sit with a 46-42 record overall but over their last eight games, they have only two wins. So far in this series against the Phillies, the Cardinals have only scored four runs total. The strength of this team has been the pitching that is giving up 3.89 runs per game which is the 6th best in the league. Paul Goldschmidt has hit 19 home runs and driven in 65 RBIs.
On the mound for the Phillies is Aaron Nola and he sits with a 5-6 record and an ERA of 3.15. In his last start against the Washington Nationals, he went 7.2 innings giving up seven hits and three runs.
On the mound for the Cardinals is Miles MIkolas who sits with a 5-7 record and an ERA of 2.72. In his last start against the Atlanta Braves, he went six innings giving up five hits and three runs.
The Phillies are 5-1 in their last six games following a loss. The Cardinals are 0-4 in Mikolas last four starts against the National League East. The under is 8-0 in the Cardinals' last eight games against a team with a winning record.
Runs have been hard to come by in this series and it’s not going to be any different in this game. Nola sits with an ERA of 3.15 while Mikolas sits with an ERA of 2.72. I expect both teams' bats to be ice cold again here, and the under is going to cash here.
