Our Philadelphia Phillies vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
The Difference Maker: Christopher Sanchez has commanded a 1.86 ERA over his last five starts, in which the Phillies have gone 4-1.
In his last outing against the Cardinals, Sanchez threw six scoreless innings in a 0-2 loss on August 11.
What to Expect: Sanchez will dominate again on the mound, but this time, he will have an in-form Phillies’ batting corps to provide him with steady run support.
Fearless Forecast: Phillies 8, Cardinals 3
Our betting prediction for the Philadelphia Phillies vs. St. Louis Cardinals: The Phillies -1.5 Runs
