The St. Louis Cardinals and Colorado Rockies meet Friday in MLB action at Coors Field. Here’s a Rockies vs Cardinals Prediction. This article will include a Rockies vs Cardinals Pick.
The St. Louis Cardinals are 70-71 on the year and play the White Sox and Giants next. The St. Louis Cardinals are batting .242 on the season, with a .316 OBP and a .384 slugging percentage. The St. Louis Cardinals’ pitching staff has a 4.24 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. Jordan Walker leads the St. Louis Cardinals with 155 hits and 99 RBI, while Alec Burleson and Ivan Herrera have combined for 279 hits and 157 RBI.
Kyle Leahy gets the ball for the St. Louis Cardinals, and he is 10-4 with a 3.13 ERA and 118 strikeouts this season. Leahy is 2-0 with a 4.05 ERA and 19 strikeouts in his career against the Colorado Rockies.
The Colorado Rockies are 54-86 on the year and play the Tigers and Yankees next. The Colorado Rockies are batting .253 on the season and have a .323 OBP and a .415 slugging percentage. The Colorado Rockies’ pitching staff has a 5.42 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP. TJ Rumfield leads the Colorado Rockies with 139 hits and 64 RBI, while Jake McCarthy and Hunter Goodman have combined for 247 hits and 145 RBI.

The Cardinals need to take advantage of this series to stay in the wild card hunt. The Rockies stink, and Feltner doesn’t improve the situation with his 5.84 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. He’s coming off an August where he allowed 39 hits and 21 earned runs in 31 innings. Leahy is coming off an August where he allowed 23 hits and 4 runs in 22 innings. The fact that this price is so low feels like a steal. Give me the Cardinals as one of the better value bets on Friday’s MLB card.
