Royals vs Cardinals
MLB Betting Pick
Bet on the Cardinals
at -130
In the second game of a doubleheader, the home team
typically has an advantage when they have the superior pitcher. Expect St.
Louis to perform well in front of their home crowd and secure a victory in the
second game. Choose the Cardinals to come out on top on Wednesday night. Therefore,
I predict the Cardinals will win and cover the spread with a final score of 6-2.
