The St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants meet Monday in MLB action at Oracle Park. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The St. Louis Cardinals have scored 13 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 7 games. The Cardinals are 8-5 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Nolan Arenado leads the Cardinals with 25 hits and 14 RBI, while Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Gorman have combined for 43 hits and 31 RBI. Jordan Montgomery gets the ball, and he is 2-2 with a 4.84 ERA and 19 strikeouts this season. This will be Montgomery’s first career game against the Giants.
The San Francisco Giants have scored 12 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 8 games. The Giants are 7-5 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Thairo Estrada leads the Giants with 25 hits and 6 RBI, while JD Davis and Mike Yastrzemski have combined for 38 hits and 23 RBI. Alex Cobb gets the ball, and he is 0-1 with a 2.79 ERA and 22 strikeouts this season. Cobb is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 18 strikeouts in his career against the Cardinals.
The Cardinals are 0-5 in their last 5 Monday games and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The Giants are 0-5 in their last 5 during game 1 of a series and 2-7 in their last 9 overall. The over is 5-1-1 in Cardinals last 7 overall. The over is 4-1 in Giants last 5 Monday games.
Quick turnaround for the San Francisco Giants who played Sunday night, but we’re getting them at home without travel with Cobb on the mound, who has been sharp this season. Jordan Montgomery is hit or miss and hasn’t been great up to this point. Both clubs are hit or miss. Give me the home dog, as I don’t understand why the Cards are favored on the road.
