The win in Game 3 of the series against St. Louis was the Giants' first in May. San Francisco had a poor start to the last month of spring, losing to Washington and slipping twice each against the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis. Gabe Kapler's team is still only fourth in the NL West standings with a 15-12 balance, behind not only the Dodgers and San Diego Padres but also Colorado.
Jakob Junis will pitch for San Francisco in the final game of the series with the Cardinals. In two starts in the new season, the pitcher has not allowed a hit in 10 full innings.
St. Louis makes the minimum target
Winning the first two games of the series in San Francisco, the Cardinals did the most important thing: they achieved the margin of victory that would allow them to finish their road trip against a powerful opponent with at least a draw. The opponents will also meet in St. Louis this season, so Oliver Marmol's team will have a great opportunity to finish the season series with a win against the Giants on their home field. St. Louis is still second in the NL Central Division standings with a 16-11 balance, behind first-place Milwaukee, who are currently 19-9.
Dakota Hudson will pitch for St. Louis in the upcoming game. The pitcher is 2-2 and has a 3.16 ERA in 5 starts in the new season.

Expert Betting Tips
The third game of the series turned out to be very productive. It is unlikely that in terms of performance game 4 will be closer to the third one than to the first two, which were to be low-scoring. Both teams are too good on defense to have two straight blowouts. Also, it's worth considering San Francisco's win. The Giants have lost a lot lately and definitely do not agree to lose in another series, also on their home field.
Prediction: a win for San Francisco in a low-scoring match.
