The Houston Astros have the chance to complete a three game sweep of the St Louis Cardinals, when the two teams clash on Tuesday afternoon. Both teams are currently outside the Wild Card positions, but know that a strong run of form could revive their postseason hopes. The Astros have enjoyed a 3-1 start to June, including those two victories over the Cards. However, they have struggled for consistency throughout the season and have not been above .500 at any point. Consistency has also been an issue for the Cardinals, although their recent form (12-7 in their last 19) has seen them get back into the Wild Card race. 

The Cardinals hold a narrow 387-341 overall lead in the head to head. However, the Astros are on a four game winning streak over St Louis.

Our St. Louis Cardinals vs Houston Astros Prediction

The Astros are big favorites to complete the sweep and most bookies have them at just 1.52 for the win. Whilst we are inclined to agree with that prediction, we don't think it offers a great deal of value. As such, we think it's sensible to look at the handicap markets. The 4.05 on the Astros winning by at least four is tempting (as is the 2.95 on them winning by at least three), but the safer bet is for them to cover a 1.5 run handicap. As such, our prediction for Astros vs Cardinals is: Astros (-1.5) to win, 2.15 at Betrivers.

Astros (-1.5) to win
