St. Louis Cardinals vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m rolling with the Cardinals in this spot as McGreevy has been strong through 72.1 innings with a 2.99 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. McGreevy has allowed 2 or fewer runs in 5 of his last 7 starts. Bradley has been hittable this season, and that includes allowing 19 hits and 13 runs in his last 13 innings. Quick turnaround and two hot lineups, I’m going to roll with the pitcher in far better form. Give me the Cardinals.
