Tip:: St. Louis Cardinals -1.5 @ 2.00 (bet365)
Tip Result:: Win

The 14-22 New York Mets are 0-2 so far in this series against the 25-13 St. Louis Cardinals. They lost the first two games 3-6 and 4-10.

The Mets are cold at the moment, going 0-5 in their last 5 and 2-8 in their last 10 on the road. They are 1-5 in their last 6 against St. Louis. The Cardinals meanwhile are 11-2 in their last 13 games and 6-1 in their last 7 at home.

Starting Mets pitcher Shaun Marcum has a 0-3 W/L record for the season with a whopping 8.59 ERA. He has been on the losing side in his last 4 starts against St. Louis. Starting Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller meanwhile has a 5-2 W/L record for the season with a 1.58 ERA.

I'm taking the Cardinals at the line due to their superior form and starting pitcher. While you're at it you might want to consider the over 8.0.
