St. Louis Cardinals vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m on the Cardinals here. Taj Bradley isn’t in good form right now and the Cardinals are smoking right-handed pitching in the month of June. So are the Twins in fairness and Michael McGreevy has some regression headed his way, but the Cardinals’ bullpen is far more trustworthy here and I look for St. Louis to get it done again here.
