St Louis Cardinals vs Oakland Athletics Betting Preview

Cardinals Snap Skid Behind Arenado’s Bat

The Cardinals got the party started in the Monday game with a Nolan Arenado base hit in the first inning that scored a run.  Willson Contreras and Jordan Walker drove him runs later in the game, and the Cardinals snapped their losing streak. Sonny Gray was outstanding again for St. Louis in the win.

Arenado and Brendan Donovan lead the Cardinals in runs batted in. They both have nine on the MLB season. Nolan Gorman leads the team with three home runs. The top batting average for St. Louis is coming from their rookie shortstop Masyn Winn, who is at .356.

Lance Lynn is getting the start for the St. Louis Cardinals in this one. The 36-year-old has made three starts on the season. Lynn has picked up a no-decision in all three games. In 13.2 innings, Lynn has thrown 18 strikeouts and walked 6 batters, while allowing four earned runs.

The Cardinals will head home after this series and host the Brewers for three and the Diamondbacks for three.

Sears Takes the Mound: Can A’s Left-hander Silence Opposing Bats?

The lone run for Oakland on Monday was an Esteury Ruiz home run to left field. That came in the bottom of the 8th inning. It was one of just 5 hits for Oakland in the game. Ruiz was just called back up for Oakland after playing the opening weekend and coming away with three hits in 7 at-bats.

Despite some wins on the season, Oakland is still one of the worst offensive teams in all of Major League Baseball teams stats. The Athletics are scoring less than three runs per game. The Oakland batting average is .208 on the season. The pitching for Oakland has been solid, as they are allowing just over 4 runs per game, which is in the Top 10.

The Oakland Athletics will send JP Sears to the hill. The lefthander is 1-1 on the season with a 5.17 earned run average. This will be his fourth start of the season. Sears has struck out 7 batters in 15.2 innings. His last outing was on April 11th at Texas, where he allowed just a single hit in 6.1 innings.

Oakland will head to Cleveland for a three-game series on Friday, and then make a stop in New York for four against the Yankees and three in Baltimore.

St Louis Cardinals vs Oakland Athletics  Picks and Predictions

The Oakland Athletics have JP Sears going. He was really good in his last start. The Cardinals have been pretty maddening for consistency with their bats. Lance Lynn though should be able to contain the Oakland bats. We like the Cardinals to win this game on the road.
