The Diamondbacks are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against the Cardinals but are 2-5 in their last 7 visits in Saint Louis.
In this Diamondbacks vs Cardinals Prediction, the Cardinals are coming as -130 home favorites. I am with the Cardinals in this one with Michael McGreevy on the bump, who has been the far better option that the terrible Zac Gallen. McGreevy sits on a 2.25 home ERA, while Gallen has been atrocious with 4+ earned runs in four of his last five starts and has been weaker on the road. The Cardinals have a better offense and are 4th-best against right-handed pitching in the last 10 days. Take the Cardinals in this one.
