St. Louis Cardinals vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

I’ll stay with the Cardinals. Fedde has taken losses in his last two starts though, so he’ll need a good showing here. In his latest trio, Fedde is 1-2 with a combined seven earned runs (four in one start) on 16 hits and eight walks in 16.2 innings total.

On Saturday the Cardinals couldn’t get anything going at the plate. If there’s good news, it’s that starter Sonny Gray really only had one bad inning despite his ugly line. I’m leaning St. Louis in a bounce-back Sunday but I’m not touching it.
