CARDINALS KEY TRENDS: After losing again yesterday, the Cardinals are now 1-5 in their last six road games, are 1-5 in their last six games overall, and are 0-4 in their last four interleague games. That said, they’re 21-10 in Wainwright’s last 31 starts and are 28-12 in his last 40 starts coming off five days of rest.
YANKEES KEY TRENDS: The Yankees have won six straight games and are 16-5 in their last 21 home games. They’ve also won 38 of their last 51 games versus National League Central opponents and are 6-1 in Pineda’s last seven starts when taking on a team with a losing record.
Bet Tonight’s Cardinals vs. Yankees Game
OUR PICK: The Cardinals are winless in their last five road games versus New York and 1-4 in their last five games versus the Yankees overall. For a year and two weeks the Cardinals have played piss poor defense and if they’re not hitting home runs, they’re not scoring. The Yankees are hot and should be able to rough up a pitcher in Wainwright who is a shell of his former self.
