San Diego Padres vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction & Betting Tips - MLB

 by Joseph King | in MLB Predictions

Thursday in Major League Baseball sees the St Louis Cardinals facing off against the San Diego Padres for this NL clash at Petco Park in San Diego. This should be an intriguing game as two of the NL’s top teams meet with both teams still having a lot to play for as the playoffs draw ever closer. The Cardinals currently top the NL Central division with an 87-63 record and hold a 7.5 game lead over the second-place Brewers. Although there are only 12 games left in the season for most clubs, the Cards can’t take their foot off the gas as a late Brewers surge coupled with a St. Louis' losing streak could see a nerve wracking finish. On the other side, the Padres 83-66 record puts them second in the NL West. San Diego is in a tighter race than the Cardinals as they try to hold onto one of the three Wild Card spots, of which they currently hold a four game lead over the Brewers.

San Diego Padres - St. Louis Cardinals: Form Analysis

The Padres come into this match on a five game winning streak as they look to extend the gap between themselves and the Phillies and Brewers for a Wild Card spot in the playoffs. They’ve been a pretty consistent team both home and away this season and currently sport a 40-31 record at Petco Park. They come up against a St. Louis team that is drastically worse when playing as the visitors. The Cards are an excellent 51-27 on home soil but see their record drop to an even .500 at 36-36 on the road. With a three game losing streak and a 5-5 split over their last 10, they look to be facing an uphill battle if they are to walk away from San Diego with a win here.

San Diego Padres & St. Louis Cardinals Squad Analysis

Taking the mound for the home team is Joe Musgrove, the 10-7 on the season with a 3.16 ERA. The big righty was one of the league’s better pitchers in the first half of the season but has struggled with his consistency in the second half of the year. However, Musgrove was able to bounce back with a strong showing in his last outing against the Diamondbacks and the Padres will be hoping he can carry over that momentum into this one. He’ll come up against Jack Flaherty who gets the nod for the Cardinals. Flaherty is just 0-1 on the year with an ERA of 5.09 in six starts this season. The 26-year-old has allowed 13 earned runs in his 23 total innings pitched this season and has especially struggled in his last two outings, where he has given up seven earned runs.

San Diego Padres - St. Louis Cardinals Key Points

  1. This is the final matchup between these two sides in the regular season this year; St. Louis leads the season series 3-2 but the Padres have won the last two straight.
  2. Cardinals starter Jack Flaherty has given up seven earned runs, two home runs and six walks in the last 10 innings pitched, all against below-average offensive teams.
  3. The Padres defense and pitching has been on fire lately and has kept three shutouts over their last four games, allowing only one total run.
  4. The Cardinals have hit a dry patch and have only scored one run over their last four outings which includes twice being shut out by their opponents today.

Our San Diego Padres vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

We’re going to back the hot team and take the San Diego Padres to complete the series sweep and finish off their season series with the Cards at a 3-3 record. St Louis has really struggled to score runs over the past four games and are coming up against a pitcher in Joe Musgrove who was able to put an end to a terrible run of form with an excellent six inning, eight strikeout shutout performance in his last outing. With Cardinals pitcher Jack Flaherty having been inconsistent in his limited starts this season, look for the hosts to close this one out with a win.
