Rockies vs Cardinals Prediction

The teams have traded victories in the past couple of years, each recording five of the previous ten H2H encounters. I am not sure who will get a W and clinch the series, but I do expect a lot of runs on each side. The Rockies will likely turn to their bullpen following German Marquez’s shoulder injury, and they have the fourth-worst bullpen in MLB. Andre Pallante, on the other hand, hasn’t allowed multiple runs just three times this season, while he surrendered 12 runs in his previous two starts. Go with Over.
