Texas Rangers vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

Max Scherzer still has yet to look like Max Scherzer of old, but he's still an above average pitcher and there's still hope he'll work his way into form. Lance Lynn has been a disaster in the month of July with an ERA over 7, and I doubt things will improve against a Rangers' offense that's capable of putting up crooked numbers. You don't get Scherzer at these soft prices often, regardless of how he looks. Give me the Rangers and the cheap price.
