What You need to know about the St Louis Cardinals for this Game

The Cardinals faced off against the Atlanta Braves in their recent games. St. Louis didn't do so well in the first game of the doubleheader, losing 6-2, but managed to secure wins of 4-3 and 4-1 in the other matchups. Unfortunately, on Thursday, the Cardinals struggled as they gave up 10 runs in the first five innings. Miles Mikolas, the starting pitcher, had a tough time, allowing nine runs on 12 hits and a walk in just 4.1 innings.

It will be Andre Pallante taking on the starter role for the Cardinals in the upcoming game on tonight. I would take a look at MLB Pitcher Prop Bet on him as he has been surprising this season. Pallante has a record of 3-3 with a 5.23 ERA in 14 games this season, including five starts. Throughout his career, Pallante has a record of 13-9 with a 4.01 ERA in 123 games, with 15 starts. The Cardinals have games lined up against the Pirates and Nationals following this series.

Reds vs Cardinals MLB Betting Prediction and Pick

The Reds have had their ups and downs this season, struggling to find consistency. They'll need key performances from India and De La Cruz to bounce back from their recent loss. The Cardinals, on the other hand, are doing decently this season but could use some more wins to secure a comfortable lead above .500. With star players like Arenado and Goldschmidt, the Cardinals will aim to capitalize on their recent win and continue their success.

 This upcoming game is expected to be quite one-sided. The St Louis Cardinals have been performing better than the Cincinnati Reds this season, and that difference will likely be evident on Friday. Look for Arenado and Goldschmidt to shine and lead their team to victory. My prediction for the final score is a 6-2 win for the St Louis Cardinals.
