The current betting odds have the Cardinals listed as a slight underdog in this game. The Cardinals have been playing very well recently and are one of the hottest teams in the MLB right now with all the wins they have been piling up. They already took the series opener against the Yankees with some late runs but the Yankees bullpen has not been very good over the last few weeks and they have blown leads late in their recent games. The Cardinals offense is heating up as well as they are scoring a lot of runs in their games and their pitching has also been great as they are not allowing many runs. The Yankees have fallen into a slump recently as they have been losing a lot of games over the last few weeks and their offense has not been great with some missing pieces in the lineup. Their starters have been falling apart as well as the bullpen and they have a lot of problems right now. Montas is starting here making his Yankees debut but he has dealt with injury all season and may need some time to adjust to this new environment and new team which is very different from his old team in the A's. Wainwright is pitching for the Cardinals and he has also been lights out in his recent starts, he will make it tough on the Yankees to score here as they are already struggling on offense. The Cardinals are the hotter team right now while the Yankees are slumping a bit. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cardinals to win this game.
