St. Louis at New York

The St. Louis Cardinals' offense has really been slumping over the last week or so. They have played seven of their last eight games that went UNDER the total. The Cardinals' bats have produced just three total runs per game over their last eight contests, while the pitching has been outstanding, allowing just two runs per game over their last 8. That means the Cards' games over their last eight have produced a combined total of five runs per game. The Mets brought in Juan Soto to boost the offense, but he has started slowly. Soto has just 3 HR's and 7 RBI's on the season. The Mets have just one player who has driven in as many as 10 runs. Their typical lineup has four players hitting .200 or less. Pitching is the word for this game, and I will make the play on the UNDER.
