Our Detroit Tigers vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
Detroit is the heavy favorite in this game; however, St. Louis looks to be the best betting option. The Tigers certainly look to have a strong starting pitcher in this game, that being Valdez, but where they could have issues is their shaky bullpen. The Detroit bullpen has already posted an ERA of nearly 6.00, which has cost them several times in just the first six games.
St. Louis’ bullpen, on the other hand, has been equally as bad, but the difference is that the Cardinals’ offense has been much more efficient. Given that St. Louis simply looks to have the slight edge in starting pitching, our Detroit Tigers vs St. Louis Cardinals prediction is: St. Louis Cardinals ML.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
