Boston Red Sox vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction: Betting on Sox and Over

This week's edition of Monday's Baseball features an MLB matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Boston Red Sox - Sox will improve

The over is 5-0 in Boston's past 5 home games against teams with right-handed starting pitchers, and they are 6-2 in their last 8 home games and 7-3 in their last 10 games after a loss. For Boston, Corey Kluber, who is 2-4 with a 6.29 ERA and 28 strikeouts this year, will get the start. Although the Boston Red Sox have now dropped the first two games of this series, we anticipate a stronger showing from the host team, which have previously struggled. The Red Sox now have a 0.550 percentile after 40 games, winning 22 and losing 18.

St. Louis Cardinals - Cardinals will show class once more

St. Louis are 6-1 in their last 7 interleague games, 5-1 in their past six overall contests, and 5-12 in their previous 17 contests after a victory. For St. Louis, Miles Mikolas, who is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA and 41 strikeouts this year, will get the start. However, the St. Louis Cardinals are still in 15th place in the National League standings after only 40 games have been played.

Expert Betting Tips

We'll return over here. Since Miles Mikohas hasn't been great on the road and I've seen Corey Kluber get shelled numerous times this season, we can't entirely rely on this pitching battle to limit the runs. To me, it appears that both starters will be removed from the game early and that Monday's bullpens will be heavily utilized. Despite this, we anticipate a better showing from the Sox because we think they can win this third game.
