St. Louis at Detroit
PUSH
You have to go back to 2017 to find the last time the Tigers had a winning record. The rebuild is taking shape before our eyes as the Tigers are off to an encouraging 16-12 start to the season. The Cardinals on the otherhand, finished below .500 last season for the first time since the 2007 season. Things don't look very impressive so far for the Cards as they are off to a sluggish 13-15 start. They have struggled to produce runs as they are averaging just 3.57 runs per contest. The Tiger pitching is vastly improved as they are allowwing less than four runs per game. The Cards will start Steven Matz and his last decisions have been nightmares as the Cards have lost them by a combined total of 20-4. Make the play on Detroit.
