Trends

St. Louis is 2-6 in their last 8 Friday Games and 1-6 in their last 7 Games. The under is 12-5-1 in St. Louis’ last 18 Games. New York is 7-3 in their last 10 Friday Games and 2-9 in their last 11 Games. The under is 6-2-1 in New York’s last 9 home Games. The over is 15-6-2 in these two teams last 23 head to head meetings.

Pick

Both of these teams have been very disappointing so far this season, but the Cardinals are one of the worst teams in the National League. St. Louis is starting Miles Mikolas, who got roughed up by the Reds in his last start, but did allow five earned runs in his previous four starts combined. The Mets are starting Tylor Megill, who has allowed 16 earned runs over his last four starts (16.2 IP). I like the Cardinals here.
