St. Louis is 16-6 in their last 22 game three’s of a series and 1-4 in their last 5 Wednesday games. The under is 5-0-1 in St. Louis’ last 6 Wednesday games. The over is 5-1 in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings.
Pick
St. Louis will be trying to avoid a sweep in this series and will turn to Jake Woodford on the mound. Woodford started the season poorly, but did not allow a run over 5.1 innings pitched in his last start against the Pirates. Arizona will have Madison Bumgarner on the mound, who has allowed five earned runs in two of his three starts this year. I like the Cardinals to win this game by at least two runs.
