Free Betting Pick: Saint Louis Cardinals -165
The Saint Louis Cardinals have dominated the Kansas City Royals as of recent as they have won 8 of the last 10 meetings. The Kansas City Royals have proven that they are one of the worst teams in the MLB due to the lack of talent they have on their roster, and they will struggle in this one against a talented Cardinals ballclub. Saint Louis looks to once again have a ton of all-star candidates on their team which will be problematic for the 2nd year starter in Brad Keller as Marcell Ozuna and Paul Goldschmidt are proven hitters. The Saint Louis Cardinals have been traditionally good in their home ballpark, and I expect them to continue the trends in this one. Final Score Prediction, Saint Louis Cardinals win 7-4.
