Cardinals vs Rockies Prediction

I’m siding with the Cardinals here. The Cardinals didn’t get to Kyle Freeland on Tuesday, but I still think they’ll be good enough in this game to get the win. Gomber struggled against the Cardinals earlier this season, and McGreevy was really solid as well when he faced Colorado earlier this season. I’ll side with St. Louis in this one.
