St. Louis Cardinals vs. Washington Nationals Games Predictions

Gamblers learned a hard lesson that a team that comes far and comes fast in one season can often fall hard the other way and just as fast the next season as the Washington Nationals went from a surprise playoff team in 2012 to an overlay that busted bankrolls in 2013 as the playoffs were not to be. The St. Louis Cardinals have been developed as the premier model franchise in Major League Baseball as they have been able to maintain success through the constant change of today’s game. The Washington Nationals will host the St. Louis Cardinals in a 4 game weekend series at Nationals Park that will run Thursday through Sunday. Game time for Thursday and Friday night is set for 7:05 PM ET with a Saturday afternoon start set for 1:05 PM ET and Sunday’s game set for 1:35 PM ET.

Lethargic Start for Redbirds

The St. Louis Cardinals won 6 out of their first 11 games with the MLB Lines but were hardly impressive as they ranked 22nd in Major League Baseball for run production and 17th for staff earned run average while going under the total in just 4 games. The Washington Nationals pitching staff picked up where it left off last season as it ranked 7th in MLB for earned run average as the Nationals went over the total in just 4 out of 11 games with 6 wins.

The Matchup and Pick!

The St. Louis Cardinals have won 12 out of their last 20 away games with the Washington Nationals as 8 out of the last 11 games between the Cardinals and Nationals have gone under the total. The St. Louis Cardinals have won 6 out of their last 8 games at the Washington Nationals as 5 out of the last 7 games at Washington between the Cards and Nats have gone under the total. We’ll call for the St. Louis Cardinals in this series as they will get a better price being the road team with the superior talent and we’ll call for the series to go under the total!
