Cardinals vs Diamondbacks Prediction

Tough spot for the Diamondbacks, who had to catch a flight for this game just to fly out to Washington after it. The Cardinals get to breathe a bit with their next series being at home. The Diamondbacks have also had a couple of extra-innings games this week. A lot of wear and tear for the Diamondbacks here. Pfaadt has been good this month, but he has a 4.58 ERA and 1.31 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowing a .270 batting average in 24.2 innings on the road.

McGreevy is far more trustworthy with a 2.92 ERA and 1.10 WHIP through 108 innings. McGreevy has allowed 19 hits and 4 earned runs in his last 24.2 innings. In 52.1 innings at home, McGreevy has a 1.89 ERA and a .221 allowed batting average. I have to side with the Cardinals and the cheap price in this spot.
