The Houston Astros and the St. Louis Cardinals clash in a three-game series at Busch Stadium starting Monday.
The Astros escaped with a series win over the Los Angeles Angels after blasting them 7-3 on Sunday. Averaging 5.9 runs per game in their last five, Houston scored five runs in the second innings and added two more in the sixth and seventh to get a “feel good” win after scoring only one run in Game 2. The Astros are batting .219 with 60 runs and pitching a 3.69 ERA this season.
The Cardinals are also fresh off a series win after shutting the light out of the Philadelphia 7-0 in Game 3 on Sunday. St. Louis, who holds a team ERA of 4.48 this season, secured their second shutout win over Philadelphia thanks to a near-flawless outing from Matthew Laberatore and a much-improved bullpen that has allowed 1.40 ERA in the last five games.

Our Houston Astros vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
Astros’ ace Framber Valdez is listed to start on Monday vs. the Cardinals. Valdez looks to deliver a strong follow-up to his dominant showing against the Mariners after blanking Seattle for six innings with 8 strikeouts. Cardinals projected starter Sonny Gray will also try to put up strong numbers from the mound and continue to lead the Cardinals to a win like he did in his last three starts. A low-scoring Game 1 appears highly likely since we’ve got two solid pitchers going head-to-head. The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Houston's last 15 games on the road and 4 of St. Louis' last 5 games. Our betting prediction for the Houston Astros vs. St. Louis Cardinals: Total Under 7.0 Runs.
