Cardinals vs Phillies Prediction

Philadelphia wasn’t able to get the win on Tuesday night, but they have won three of their last five games and have pitched very well during those games. St. Louis is right at .500 on the season and they have had some struggles with their pitching staff, but they did shutout Philadelphia on Tuesday. The Phillies are starting Aaron Nola, who allowed six earned runs to the Braves in his first start, but did pitch better in his second start against the Nationals. The Cardinals are going with Lance Lynn, who allowed four earned runs over 4.2 innings pitched in his last start against the Marlins. I know Nola got knocked around in his first outing, but he should be solid this season, but I can’t say the same for Lynn. I haven’t had much confidence in Lynn over the last couple of seasons and I don’t like this matchup for him. Take the Phillies here.
