Colorado Rockies vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

It is not a game I’m excited to bet, as neither the Cardinals nor Rockies have anything to play for at this stage. However, the Cardinals should have the edge with Erick Fedde on the mound. Fedde has been solid this season with a 3.38 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. We can’t say the same about Gomber as he has an ERA well over 4 both on the road and at home, and he’s very hittable at Coors. Give me the Cardinals and the cheap price.
