New York’s 4-1 in their last 5 games overall and 2-5 in their last 7 road games while the over is 7-0 in their last 7 games against a team with a left-handed starter. St. Louis is 2-8 in their last 10 home games and 2-10 in their last 12 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 8-2-1 in their last 11 interleague games.
Pick
I’m taking the under here. The Yankees have exploded offensively in their last couple of games, but congrats on beating up the Oakland A’s. This Yankees team still hasn’t been very good for the month of June and aren’t a team I’m looking to trust without Aaron Judge. On the other side, the Cardinals have still been one of the most disappointing teams in baseball and I just envision this being a game where both teams struggle offensively and this ends up being a first to 3 wins kind of game.
