Featured Tip from ATS King

Pick Details

Sport / league:: MLB
Event / fixture:: NY Mets at St. Louis
Event date: Fri, 17 May 2013 at 3:45 AM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: St. Louis Cardinals @ 1.46 (William Hill)
Tip Result:: Loss

The 14-23 New York Mets are now 0-3 in this series after losing the first three 3-6, 4-10 and 2-4. They have lost their last 5 all up and are now 2-9 in their last 11 on the road. The Mets are also 1-6 in their last 7 against St. Louis. Starting pitcher Jonathon Niese has been on the losing side in his last 3 starts. He has a 2-4 W/L record for the season with a 5.93 ERA.

The 26-13 St. Louis Cardinals are now 6-1 in their last 7 games and 7-1 in their last 8 at home. Starting pitcher Adam Wainwright has a 5-2 W/L record for the season with a 2.30 ERA, but he is especially impressive at home, with a 0.72 ERA at Busch Stadium this year.

As I did yesterday, I'm taking the Cardinals due to their superior form and starting pitcher.
