The St. Louis Cardinals and Washington Nationals meet Monday in MLB action at Nationals Park.

The St. Louis Cardinals need a win after losing six of their last eight games. The Cardinals have scored 11 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in five of their last seven games. The Cardinals have lost five straight games when scoring three or less runs. Tommy Edman leads the Cardinals with 18 hits and two RBI while Yadier Molina and Nolan Arenado have combined for 33 hits and 22 RBI. Jack Flaherty gets the ball, and he is 2-0 with a 4.11 ERA and 16 strikeouts this season. Flaherty is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA and 11 strikeouts in his career against the Nationals.

The Washington Nationals look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Nationals have scored nine runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last 10 games. The Nationals have split their last six games when scoring four or more runs. Trea Turner leads the Nationals with 16 hits and seven RBI while Starlin Castro and Juan Soto have combined for 29 hits and 17 RBI. Joe Ross gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and nine strikeouts this season. Ross is 3-0 with a 2.86 ERA and 16 strikeouts in his career against the Cardinals.

The Cardinals are 5-2 in their last 7 during game 1 of a series and 36-17 in their last 53 Monday games. The Nationals are 6-2 in their last 8 games as a home underdog and 2-5 in their last 7 games as an underdog. The over is 5-2 in Cardinals last 7 overall. The under is 4-1 in Nationals last 5 overall. The Cardinals are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings.

The St. Louis Cardinals are having trouble finishing games and those sort of things usually don’t get fixed on the road. The Washington Nationals are coming off an inconsistent week, but the batting order has shown promise and Ross is off to a great start this season, despite needing to see a full sample size before we completely jump onboard. However, the Nats should have the edge at home with the cheap price.
