The Saint Louis Cardinals have been very good as of recent as they have won 8 of their last 10 games, and they have had the majority of their success at home as they are 40-24 on the season. The Saint Louis Cardinals will be throwing Michael Wacha who has been a reliable arm all year, but I am more concerned about the Reds throwing Tyler Mahle as he is 2-10. The Saint Louis Cardinals have a ton of talent in their starting lineup as Marcell Ozuna and Paul Goldschmidt are MVP-caliber talents when they are on their game. Final Score Prediction, Saint Louis Cardinals win 5-3.
