Padres vs. Cardinals MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take San Diego. The fact that the Padres are under -150 against this average Cardinals team tonight is a sin – especially given the pitching matchup. Cease is 3-2 with a 3.04 ERA over his last five starts, whereas Mikolas is also 3-2, but his ERA is nearly a 6.00 (5.96). These two things are not the same. The Cardinals’ offense has come alive of late, but not enough to sway me on this one.
