Colorado Rockies vs Saint Louis Cardinals Prediction
The Rockies are 4-2 in their last 6 head-to-head meetings against the Cardinals, but the Cardinals are 3-2 in their last 5 meetings in Saint Louis. Under is 6-1-2 in their last 9 meetings.
In this Colorado Rockies vs Saint Louis Cardinals Prediction, the Cardinals are coming as -210 home favorites. Saint Louis is rightfully favored, as they have almost twice as many wins as Colorado, who has been atrocious this season. McGreevy is coming off a shutout start against the Cubs, and had a quality start against the Rockies this season, with just one earned run. On the flip side, Gomber has been terrible lately, with a 1-4 record and 7.11 ERA across his last five starts, and he has been torched twice by the Cardinals this season, with 9 total earned runs in 10.2 innings pitched in two starts. Saint Louis also has a better bullpen and better offense, so I expect them to bounce back and dominate this one. Take the Saint Louis Cardinals on the runline.
