Preview

The New York Mets and the St Louis Cardinals will meet at the Busch Stadium to play a 3-game series. The Mets won their last series 2-1 against the Arizona Dabcks and the Cardinals won 2 of 3 games against the Cincinnati Reds. 

New York Mets

The Mets get here with a 12-5 record after beating the Dbacks 6-2 in Arizona. The team is averaging 4.69 runs per game and allowing 2.9 runs. Francisco Lindor leads with 4 home runs and batting for .313 AVG whit 12 RBI so far. Pete Alonso has 16 RBI.

Tylor Megill has 3 wins for the Mets and a 2.35 ERA with 22 strikeouts.

Probable Pitcher:

Max Scherzer (3-0, 2.50 ERA) will be on the mound for the Mets in the 1st game of the series. Scherzer picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Giants, allowing one run on one hit and three walks over seven innings. He struck out 10. In his last 3 starts against the Cardinals he has a 0.49 ERA and 26 strikeouts.

St Louis Cardinals

The Cardinals get here with a 9-5 record after winning 2 of their last 3 games against the Reds. The team is averaging 4.54 runs and allowing 2.85 runs per game. Nolan Arenado leads with 5 home runs and batting for .364 AVG whit 14 RBI so far.

Adam Wainwright leads the team with 2 wins and a 3.86 ERA striking out 22.

Probable Pitcher: 

Miles Mikolas (1-0, 1.76 ERA) will take the mound in the 1st game of the series for the Cardinals. Mikolas didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Marlins, scattering four hits over five-plus scoreless innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

BETTING TRENDS

NY Mets are 9-3 SU in their last 12 games.

NY Mets are 3-10 SU in their last 13 games against St. Louis.

The total has gone UNDER in 6 of St. Louis' last 6 games.

St. Louis are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games.

Prediction

The Mets have the 2nd best record in the league so far with 12 win and only 5 losses and they're going to send Max Scherzer to the mound who has allowed only 1 run in 18.1 innings in his last 3 starts against the Cardinals. St Louis are 3-1 at home so far this season but facing Scherzer will complicate things to them. Take the Mets to win the first game of the series.
