Colorado at St. Louis

The St. Louis Cardinals have been playing very well under pressure to make the playoffs. The Cards are 13-4 in their last 17 games and have outscored their opponents by 26 runs. Take out a horrible game where they lost 16-5 and that margin has been 37 runs! Colorado has always tailored their team to the hitter-friendly Coors Field, and the Rockies have always managed to play well at home, but not the case on the road. Colorado owns an 18-37 mark on the road this season. The pitching has allowed five or more runs in nine of their last 12 games, and after dropping the opener of this series last night, the losing streak has reached three games. I like St. Louis in this one.
