The Orioles are coming into this game with a 12-17 record overall and they are 3-10 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Kansas City Royals 2-1 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Cardinals on Wednesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Wednesday with the series opener still to be played on Tuesday. Kyle Bradish is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Spenser Watkins is on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 0-0 with a 3.22 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 2 Ks on 7 hits in 4.2 IP against the Minnesota Twins. They scored 14 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Cardinals are coming into this game with a 16-12 record overall and they are 7-5 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. They just split their 4-game series against the San Francisco Giants 2-2, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Orioles on Wednesday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Wednesday with the series opener still to be played on Tuesday. There is no probable pitcher for them on Tuesday while Miles Mikolas will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 2-1 with a 1.53 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 earned run, 0 homers, and 3 BB with 3 strikeouts on 7 hits in 5.2 innings played against the San Francisco Giants. They scored 20 runs in their last series averaging 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 20 runs against them averaging 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Cardinals are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well in their games recently and were on a little streak prior to losing their last 2 games. They kept one of those games very close though and they still scored over 10 runs in those 2 games as well. Their offense has been moving well in their recent games and they are going up against an Orioles team that has also been playing very well recently but have not been a very good team on the road either. The Orioles have been much better at home this season and the Cardinals have a very good bullpen to help them secure this game. The Orioles have been overachieving a little for their team this season and that will likely start regressing in their games on the road where they have not been as good. The Cardinals have been hitting the ball well recently and should be able to win this game by a few runs. The best bet here is on the Cardinals to win this game on the runline.
