Our St. Louis Cardinals vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
St. Louis is the clear favorite in this game; however, the over looks to be the best betting option. This goes back to the home/away splits for the starting pitchers. Ritchie has made six road appearances (four starts) this season, having allowed 17 runs (15 earned) over 27.1 innings. May, on the other hand, has made nine home starts this season, in which he has allowed 22 runs (21 earned) over 52.2 innings.
Despite May being decent at home this season, the Braves’ offense ranks 8th in the league in terms of runs per game, while the Cardinals rank 15th in the same category. Because of this, our St. Louis Cardinals vs Atlanta Braves prediction is: Over 8.5 Total Runs.
