Philadelphia Phillies vs St.Louis Cardinals Prediction: Cardinals will win

Philadelphia ended their series with a solid win against Atlanta and will now face St Louis. We'll pick a few bets on the first game between the Phillies and the Cardinals.

The Phillies faced St. Louis and hosted Atlanta at Citizens Bank Park, and although they won the last game of the series, they lost the first two (3-5, 1-4, 14-4). In the absence of the injured Bryce Harper, other top team players like Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm, and Didi Gregorius could only prove themselves in the undecided third match of the series. They are 40-37 and still only third in the NL East.

The Phillies' starting pitcher for Game 1 of the series with St. Louis is 0-2 and has a 4.50 ERA in 7 games, only 3 of which the pitcher has been a starter.

The team has finished the home stretch and is starting the away stretch. They won only three of their past six games at home, losing 1:2 in the Chicago Cubs derby but beating Miami with a score of 2:1. As a result of that stretch, St. Louis lost first place again in the NL Central division. The Cardinals are 43-35, while Milwaukee is 44-34.

Miles Mikolas is the starting pitcher for the upcoming game for St. Louis, 5-5, and with a 2.57 ERA in 15 games.

Philadelphia doesn't expect to succeed in the Cards' first game of the series. St. Louis is a too strong team not to tear apart a young pitcher. Gibson and Wheeler will play for the Phillies in games two and three.
