San Diego Padres at Saint Louis Cardinals

Th Cardinals are riding high as they are currently one of the best teams in baseball. Saint Louis fans aren’t shocked at the news after Arenado joined the team. STL fans knee this team was special after the Cardinals finally opened up their checkbook. The Cardinals are 23-17 and 5-5 in their last 10 games.

The Cardinals will send out Kim (1-0) to the mound. He has seen 23.0 innings of action and has given up 24 hits, 7 runs, 1 HR, 5 BB, and 24 Ks. Kim is actually having a decent season besides giving up too many hits which he compensates with Ks.

A lot of analysts have the Padres gong deep into the payoffs including myself. The Padres can easily win the World Series so get your bets in now. They will send out Weathers (2-1) to the mound. He has seen 22.1 innings of play giving up 9 hits, 2 runs, 1 HR, 7 BB, and 20 Ks.

The Padres are -135 favorite to compete the sweep. The Cardinals have been hot and have an excellent record. A sweep seems improbable as both pitchers are relatively equal. The Cardinals ML is the play.
