St. Louis Cardinals vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
It would be nice to know who the Braves are throwing out there on the mound, but it probably doesn’t matter. As good as Pallante has been through 22.1 innings, it doesn’t mean much if the Cards can’t produce offense. The Cardinals have lost five straight games and have been held to four or fewer runs in six of their last seven games. The Braves are finally showing signs of getting their act together with four straight wins, and the offense has picked up. I’ll side with the Braves at home and the cheap price, regardless of who is on the mound.
