Key Stats
St. Louis Cardinals
Lance Lynn(RHP) will get the start for the Cardinals in today’s game. Lynn has started the season 0-0 with a 4.15 ERA and has struck out 12 batter batters. Brendan Donovan leads the team with a .250 batting average and an OBP of .388. Nolan Gorman has hit a team-high three home runs and eight RBIs, while Nolan Arenado has collected 12 hits to start the season.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies are expected to start Aaron Nola(RHP) for today’s game. Nola has started the season 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA and seven strikeouts. Brandon Marsh leads the team with a .344 batting average and an OBP of .371. Bryce Harper has hit a team-high three home runs and collected seven RBIs, while Trea Turner has tallied 13 hits to start the season.
Game Prediction
Both of these teams have been mediocre this year, and this is a very even matchup. Nola and Lynn are off to solid starts this season and have tough assignments today. Both offenses are loaded with batters who can smash the ball, but Nola’s inconsistency worries me. Lynn isn’t much better, but the Phillies lineup has more talent than St. Louis. I am going with my gut in this one and rolling with the Phillies to clinch the series in this one.
Final Pick
Philadelphia Phillies ML (-135)
