The St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Angels meet Tuesday in MLB action from Angel Stadium. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a St. Louis Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Angels prediction.
The St. Louis Cardinals will send out Matthew Liberatore for the start here and Liberatore is 5-6 with a 5.00 ERA and 88 strikeouts this season. Walbert Urena will start for the Angels here and is 5-7 with a 2.88 ERA and 78 strikeouts this season.
The St. Louis Cardinals come into this game looking to bounce back from a 3-2 loss at the hands of the Los Angeles Angels last time out to sit at 51-48 this season. After this series, the Cardinals will head home for a series rematch against the Diamondbacks.
Going into Monday, Jordan Walker leads the Cardinals with 108 hits, 20 doubles, 22 home runs and 76 RBIs while Alec Burleson has 104 hits with 23 doubles, 15 home runs and 69 RBIs. JJ Wetherholt has 96 hits with 14 home runs and 38 RBIs while Ivan Herrera has 89 hits with 14 doubles, 11 home runs and 41 RBIs. Nolan Gorman has 39 hits with 7 home runs and 26 RBIs this season. Masyn Winn’s added 79 hits with 12 doubles and 42 RBIs and Nathan Church has 56 hits with 8 home runs and 28 RBIs this season.
The Los Angeles Angels come into this game looking to add on to their victory over the Cardinals on Monday to sit at 40-61 this season. After this series, the Angels will head on the road for a game against the San Francisco Giants.
Nolan Schanuel has 83 hits with 17 doubles, 6 homers and 35 RBIs while Mike Trout’s added 69 hits with 14 doubles, 18 home runs and 39 RBIs this season. Zach Neto’s also added 90 hits with 20 doubles, 19 homers and 46 RBIs and Jo Adell has 91 hits with 15 doubles, 13 home runs and 53 RBIs as well this season. Oswald Peraza has 64 hits with 11 doubles, 7 home runs and 24 RBIs and Jorge Soler has 58 hits with 13 doubles, 11 home runs and 43 RBIs as well this season.
I’m backing the Angels here. Liberatore has been more than hittable on the road this season and I think that the Angels can get to him here. For my money, Walbert Urena is the ace of this Angels’ rotation, even though Jose Soriano had the strong first month of the season, and I think that he holds down the Cardinals here to lead the Angels to the win. Give me the Angels.
