Latest Odds : STL -125 Total 8.5
The Padres were able to win the first game played in Saint Louis this year by a score of 5-3 after the true opening game was postponed because of rain. However, the Padres are a team that should be able to hang close with the Dodgers most of the season as they do have some great talent on the roster and already have what seems to be an endless source of power hitting in Hunter Renfroe who has already sent 3 balls to the stands.
While the Padres have not announced who the starter will be in this game the Padres have been able to do decent as a team. The Padres have a team ERA of 3.25 on the season and have allowed the opponents to hit only at a clip of .230 on the season, but have yet to nail a quality start on the season.

The Cardinals has their home opening game ruined by the Padres. However, the Cardinals definitely found out just how good of a talent they picked up in the offseason in Paul Goldschmidt as he has already managed to hit a total of 5 homers on the year and that is in the first 7 games of the year. The downside is most of them have been solo shots as he only has 9 RBIs on the year.
The Cardinals, who have usually had a decent pitching staff have been horrible on the year. The Cardinals have a team ERA that sits at 4.57 so far, but has a team average that is sitting at .235 on the season so far and that will definitely be a good thing for the Cardinals if they can improve on this factor.

The Cardinals are struggling to find a good groove on the mound this year as the team is allowing the runners who get on base to come around quite a bit. The Padres on the other hand are keeping the runners at bay and the runners are not scoring nearly as often. Look for the Padres pitching staff to hold onto this game here in another wild ride. Final Score Prediction, San Diego Padres win 6-2.
