For Oliver Marmol's team, Philadelphia is arguably the most uncomfortable opponent in the entire MLB tonight. The series against the Phillies has been painful for the Cardinals. Not only did St. Louis lose four of their six games in this confrontation, but in those that they did win, they did so by the skin of their teeth.
Closing out the season against the Phillies on the pitcher's mound for St. Louis will be Miles Mikolas, who is 5-7 and has a 2.72 ERA in 17 games this season.
Philadelphia improved standings situation
The Phillies have overtaken St. Louis in the standings due to wins in the face-offs and now sit fairly high sixth in the National League with a 46-40 balance.

Zach Thompson's team is still third behind Atlanta at 5.5 wins and the New York Mets at 7 wins.

Expert Betting Tips
St. Louis and Philadelphia are a team whose offense, if not superior to the defense, is not much inferior to it. It is all the more surprising that almost all of the games of the season series turned out not very productive. It is likely that the Phillies and the Cardinals will make up for it in the not-so-decisive final game.
In addition, we can also consider betting on a St. Louis win. The Cards aren't that much weaker than Philadelphia to lose a 2-5 season series, after all.
Prediction: St. Louis will win in a high-scoring match.
