In this Colorado Rockies vs Saint Louis Cardinals Prediction, the Cardinals are coming as -225 home favorites. The Cardinals are rightfully favored, as they have twice as many wins as the Rockies, and have been very strong at home. Dollander for the Rockies has not played since late April and has been struggling throughout the season, while on the other hand, Mikolas has been excellent at home for the Cardinals, with a 3.67 home ERA. Saint Louis has a superior bullpen, a better offense, and are even better against right-handed pitching. I expect a comfortable win for the home team, so take the Saint Louis Cardinals on the runline in this one.
