St. Louis Cardinals at San Francisco Giants Prediction

This is an important game for both teams, who are both in the Wild Card race. The Cardinals’ offense has been struggling as of late, as they have not scored over four runs in their last seven games. The Giants had totaled 14 runs in the first two games of this series before only scoring two in the loss yesterday. In Reyes two starts this season he has gone 10 innings and has given up three runs in two St. Louis losses. The Cardinals have had their issues at home this season where they are eight games under .500, but they have the most road wins in the Majors. Still, the Giants will get to Reyes in this game, which will not be a pitcher’s duel, and they will win and take the series.
