San Francisco Giants vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

I’m not a fan of laying juice this time of year with teams not in the playoff conversation, but Tidwell has been a mess lately, allowing 14 hits and 12 earned runs in his last 14 innings. Pallante has been a bright spot for the Cardinals, and he’s allowed just 24 hits and 7 runs in his last 27.1 innings. The home team has a clear edge on the mound. I’ll lay the price with the Cardinals as a fade of the Giants more than anything. That’s been the case a lot this season.
