St Louis at New York
Play: St. Louis +140
The St. Louis Cardinals are trending in the right direction in winning 5 of their last 7 games overall. They have outscored the Mets 11-3 in winning the first 2 games of this series. I like the price we are getting with the Cardinals here in what is essentially a very evenly-matched game on the mound. Mike Leake is 6-7 with a 3.14 ERA in 18 starts this season, and 4-2 with a 2.84 ERA in 8 road starts. Jacob DeGrom is 10-3 with a 3.48 ERA in 18 starts for the Mets. The head-to-head matchup favors Leake and the Cardinals. Leake sports a 2.74 ERA in 7 lifetime starts vs. New York, while DeGrom sports a 5.63 ERA in 4 lifetime starts vs. St. Louis. DeGrom has allowed 9 earned runs over 11 2/3 innings in his last 2 starts against the Cardinals.
