Free MLB Pick
The under has been the best bet in this series with 6 of the last 7 falling under the total line. Cards’ starter Jaime Garcia sure looked good on his return and a duplication of anything near that should make the runs for Arizona a prized commodity tonight. St. Louis will face Diamondback starter Archie Bradley for the first time which should be an advantage for the right-hander. The Cardinals are finding runs difficult to come by exceeding 3 runs in just 3 of their last 10 games.
