Our Athletics vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
Neither team has been impressive this season, but at the moment, I’ve got a little more faith in the Cardinals than the A’s. The A’s have been hitting the ball a little better, but the Cardinals have been decent at home (38-33) while the Athletics are 35-36 on the road. Neither pitcher will probably make it past the fifth inning, which is when the Cardinals will take control of the game. Why? Because the A’s have one of the worst pens in the league (4.80 ERA) while the Cardinals pen is solid (3.60 ERA).
