Preview

The Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies will play game 1 of their 3-Game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on Friday, this will also be their first game of the season playing against eachother.

St Louis Cardinals 

Cardinals are coming off a 2-1 series win over Miami Marlins at home after winning the first two games of the series and losing the last one, St Louis scored 17 runs and allowed only 7 runs in these 3 games which was a really good performance after the series lost to the Cubs before this one. ST Louis Cardinals are 2nd in runs scored and 7th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Miles Mikolas (5-5, 2.57 ERA) will be on the mound for the Cardinals in game 1 on Friday, Mikolas' last start was against Chicago Cubs and he went 6 innings allowing 1 earned run and had 9 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 5-3 win for the Cardinals.

Philadelphia Phillies 

Philadelphia Phillies went off in the last game Vs the Braves winning 14-4 after they have lost the first two games in this series 3-5 and 1-4 at home. Falter will pitch for the Phillies tonight and he is not having a good season so far. Phillies are 9th in runs scored and 19th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Bailey Falter (0-2, 4.50 ERA) will be on the mound for the Phillies in game 1 on Friday, Falter's last start was against Washington Nationals and he went 5 innings allowing 3 earned runs and had 4 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 8-7 win for the Phillies.

Prediction

I like the Cardinals to win this game for several reasons, Cardinals have the better pitcher here and they are coming off a loss so they will try to bounce back while the Phillies are coming off a 14-4 win over the Braves after they lost the first two games in this series, also the Cardinals have been more consistent lately so give me the Cards to win.

PICK: Cardinals ML (-139).
