Rangers vs Cardinals Prediction
Give me the Cardinals here. Jacob deGrom might be on the mound for the Rangers, but that isn’t going to be good enough. Even if deGrom has a good start, which i suspect might be the case, but their lack of offense isn’t going to be good enough. Erick Fedde is on the mound fo the Cardinals and he has been really impressive here. The Rangers are going to struggle to score more than two runs,and it will be the Cardinals that will get the job done. Back the Cardinals on the money line.
