St. Louis Cardinals vs. Baltimore Orioles Prediction
I’m on St. Louis here. I get the case to be made for Baltimore at home after taking it to the Cards in game one, but the thing here is that the Cardinals are still playing the better baseball, in my opinion, and I’m not the biggest backer of Sugano given the lack of strikeout potential in his game. I think the Cardinals get it done here, so give me St. Louis in a bounce-back.
