St. Louis Cardinals vs New York Yankees Prediction

The Cardinals have had success on the road this season and looked comfortable offensively last night in this little league park. The Yankees have been hit-or-miss and are dealing with a handful of injuries. Weathers is probably the more trustworthy pitcher given the larger sample size, but Dobbins has been dealing through 33.2 innings as he’s racking up strikeouts and has allowed just 4 runs in his last 11.1 innings. Dobbins has also had success against the Yankees in 21 at-bats, holding current hitters to a .143 batting average with 3 strikeouts. Give me the road dog.
