Starting Pitching Matchup
Drey Jameson will start here and is 2-0 with a 1.46 ERA and 12 strikeouts this season. St. Louis is sending out Jordan Montgomery here and is 2-1 with a 2.45 ERA and 17 strikeouts this season.
Matchup History
Arizona’s 6-3 win over St. Louis back on April 17th, 2023, snapped St. Louis’ four-game win streak in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Arizona is 7-3 in their last 10 games overall and 50-105 in their last 155 road games while the under is 4-1-1 in their last 5 game two matchups. St. Louis is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss and 2-6 in their last 8 home games while the under is 7-2-1 in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record.
Pick
I’m backing the Cardinals at home here. Drey Jameson was solid in a starters role, but he doesn’t go deep into games in his starts, and that will put a lot of strain on a Diamondbacks bullpen that’s already nothing to write home about. St. Louis has been inconsistent to put it nicely, but they’re still a solid team here and I think St. Louis gets the win here behind a strong start from Montgomery.
