Free MLB Pick
St. Louis starter Jaime Garcia comes into this game ultra-sharp stringing together nine Q starts and faces a lineup that has a career .202 batting average against him. Milwaukee starter Willy Peralta has two starts against the Cardinals this season with a poor road start where he allowed four runs on 10 hits over five innings and a good home outing where he held the Cards to two runs on seven hits over six innings. We have the best team in baseball with in our opinion the pitching edge so we’ll take a shot on St. Louis extending the margin here.
