In this Saint Louis Cardinals vs Colorado Rockies Prediction, the Cardinals are coming as -185 road favorites. The Cardinals are rightfully favored, as they have more than twice as many wins as the Rockies, and the Rockies have been terrible at home. The Cardinals have a better bullpen and a better offense, but Pallante is coming off two terrible starts, where he gave up 12 runs in 10.2 innings of work. The Cardinals have been bad on the road and have been in poor form lately, so I will take a stab here with the home dog at a good price. Take the Colorado Rockies at home for a nice plus price.
