St. Louis at Boston

St. Louis plays its second road contest after losing 13-9 at Boston yesterday. This team had a losing road mark in 2024. The Cardinals are 2-6 in the last eight road starts made by Andre Pallante. Boston plays its second home game with the offense busting out yesterday. Last year, the Red Sox ranked ninth in on-base percentage, sixth in slugging, and ninth in runs scored. Richard Fitts threw well in his first start (3 runs, six innings), and last season, he didn't allow a run in 10+ innings at home. The Red Sox offense is sixth in runs scored after winning two straight at Baltimore, 3-0 and 8-4, then crushing the Cardinals last night. Play Boston.
