The St. Louis Cardinals and the Colorado Rockies meet Sunday in MLB action from Coors Field. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a St. Louis Cardinals vs. Colorado Rockies prediction.
The St. Louis Cardinals will send out Kyle Leahy for the start here and Leahy is 10-4 with a 3.13 ERA and 118 strikeouts this season. Tanner Gordon will start for Colorado and is 1-4 with a 5.18 ERA and 72 strikeouts this season.
The St. Louis Cardinals come into this game looking to bounce back from their 10-7 loss at the hands of the Rockies last time out to sit at 71-72 this season. After this series, the Cardinals will head on the road for a series against the San Francisco Giants.
Jordan Walker has 156 hits, 32 doubles, 28 home runs and 100 RBIs while Alec Burleson has 151 hits with 33 doubles, 21 home runs and 102 RBIs. JJ Wetherholt has 122 hits with 17 home runs and 48 RBIs while Ivan Herrera has 131 hits with 24 doubles, 15 home runs and 59 RBIs. Masyn Winn’s added 103 hits with 19 doubles and 51 RBIs and Nathan Church has 89 hits with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs this season.
The Colorado Rockies come into this game looking to add on to their win over the Cardinals from Saturday to sit at 55-87 this season. After this series, the Rockies will head on the road for a series against the New York Yankees.
TJ Rumfield has 142 hits with 26 doubles, 2 triples, 15 home runs and 65 RBIs while Ezequiel Tovar has 87 hits with 21 doubles, 10 home runs and 41 RBIs. Hunter Goodman’s added 113 hits with 18 doubles, 36 home runs and 74 RBIs. Troy Johnston has 103 hits with 29 doubles, 4 home runs and 47 RBIs. Willi Castro also has 111 hits with 20 doubles, 15 home runs and 56 RBIs. Jake McCarthy also has 134 hits with 29 doubles, 8 triples, 14 home runs and 72 RBIs.
I’m leaning towards the Cardinals in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game after Colorado’s win on Saturday. However, Tanner Gordon has had his ups and downs, but I just don’t think that he’s the better starting option in this game. Kyle Leahy has a sub-2.00 ERA in his last seven starts, and I think St. Louis is just the team that’s easier to trust at the end of the day. Give me St. Louis in this one.
