Colorado Rockies vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

The Cardinals and Rockies are counting the days until the offseason, so this is about motivation and who wants to be at the ballpark. I’m not excited to get involved personally. With that said, somebody has to win, and the Cardinals are throwing out McGreevy, who has been sharp through 10 innings. Ryan Feltner has been hittable all season, and he’s been worse at Coors. Give me the Cardinals in this pick ’em spot based on what McGreevy has shown through limited frames.
