Preview
The St Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants will play the 3rd game of the series at the Busch Stadium on Sunday night. The Cardinals got the win 4-0 on Saturday to tie the series.
San Francisco Giants
The Giants get here with a 20-13 record and have won 6 of their last 7 games. The offense is on fire and is averaging 5 runs per game while allowing 3.66 runs. Wilmer Flores leads the team with 19 RBI and batting for an average of .267. Joc Pederson has 6 home runs.
Jakob Junis (1-1) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out three in 5 2/3 innings in his second start of the season.
Probable Pitcher:
Carlos Rodon (4-1, 1.80 ERA) will be on the mound for the Giants in the 3rd game of the series. Rodon earned the win over Colorado on Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out 12 over six innings. He had one start against the Cards last season and allowed only 1 run with 10 strikeouts across 6 innings.
St Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals get here with a 18-15 record and have lost 5 of their last 7 games. The team is averaging 4.31 runs and allowing 3.56 runs per game. Nolan Arenado leads with 7 home runs and batting for .311 AVG whit 27 RBI so far.
Dakota Hudson threw 5 scoreless innings and allowed 5 hits and 2 walks with 2 strikeouts in the second of the series against the Giants.
Probable Pitcher:
Adam Wainwright (3-3, 3.18 ERA) will take the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Cardinals. Wainwright tested positive for COVID-19 last week but rejoined the Cardinals on Thursday and will take the mound in Sunday's series finale against the Giants. In his last 3 starts against the Giants he has a 3.50 ERA and 11 strikeouts across 18 innings.
BETTING TRENDS
San Francisco are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games.
San Francisco are 13-7 SU in their last 20 games on the road.
St. Louis are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games.
St. Louis are 10-3 SU in their last 13 games when playing at home against San Francisco.
Prediction
The Giants are currently the #2 offense in the MLB and are averaging 5 runs per game, they've won 6 of their last 7 games and will send Carlos Rodon to the mound who allowed only 1 runs against the Cards in his last start. The Cardinals will have Adam Wainwright back in the game so I expect a pitching duel on Sunday. In their last 3 head to head games the average score is 4-3 so I think the play is the under.
PICK: Under 7 (-110)
