Free MLB Pick

After taking two of three from Toronto in St. Louis to start the season, the Cardinals were swept at home by Atlanta and then lost two of three to the Brewers. They send out Steven Matz who was dealing with injuries last season, as he amassed a less-than-impressive 5.25 ERA. His opener had some good points, like striking out seven and walking just one, but he did allow ten hits and four runs over 5 1/3 innings. He could improve here, but history is against it, with tonight’s projected starting lineup for Colorado having a career .467 average against Matz. Col starter German Marquis has been okay in his two outings this season, and he has good back numbers against St. Louis, but his batter vs. pitcher numbers are poor (323 BA). The Cards haven’t been lighting up the scoreboard, but they’ve faced a solid group of starters this season and should get their share against Marquis who had a 6.70 ERA at home in 2022.
