A 15-game MLB slate is scheduled for Saturday, which will include an interleague matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Cardinals and the Royals.
Kansas City has been stuck under .500 for some time now and has not been able to string enough wins together to make up much ground in the AL Central. Looking to change that narrative in Game 2 of this series will be Noah Cameron, as he is scheduled to make his eighth start of the season. Cameron has been lackluster thus far, posting a record of 2-2 and an ERA of 5.55. Pitching on the road has been even more of a struggle, which suggests the same trend could continue in Game 2.
As for St. Louis, they have been one of the better teams in the league this season, yet still sit in third place in a very balanced NL Central. Starting Game 2 for the Cardinals will be Kyle Leahy, who has a record of 4-3 and an ERA of 4.31. Leahy has not been particularly impressive this season, especially at home, giving the Royals a decent chance to remain competitive in this game.
