My Prediction
Philadelphia Phillies by 3Alrighty folks, lets break down this matchup. Straight from Philadelphia, we're looking at the Cardinals going up against the Phillies. This will all be going down at the Citizens Bank Park, where the batting seems to be just slightly above par. So get out the popcorn and keep your eyes on the ball.
Now, for our men on the mound, we've got Sonny Gray with his 3.51 ERA starting for the Cardinals and Jesus Luzardo with his 2.14 ERA starting for the Phillies. Both gentlemen have shown strong this season but Luzardo may just have that extra shine for the Phillies.
Talking Cardinals now; keep a close eye on Willson Contreras and Victor Scott II, they've been on the ball. Couple of dynamic fellas with nice batting averages. On the Phillies side, you can't ignore Trea Turner or Alec Bohm. Sizeable averages on those two, and of course, Kyle Schwarber and his 8 home runs. He's delivering quite the power show from that batter's box.
Now, remember the last dance between these two? Cardinals managed to edge out a win in their last outing, adding to a somewhat topsy-turvy hit-and-miss history. Regular season-wise, we're looking at 23-19 wins for the Cardinals and 24-17 for the Phillies.
Most recently, the Cardinals have had a bit of a hot streak, stomping their way past the Phillies and Washington in quick succession. The Phillies, despite their recent stumble against the Cardinals, have been tearing up the turf against Cleveland and Tampa Bay.
Ah, the drama. These are the moments we live for!
