The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 22-19 record overall and they are 8-11 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 3-game series against the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 2-game series with the Cardinals on Tuesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. José Berríos is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while Kevin Gausman is on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 3-3 with a 2.52 ERA this season. His team lost their last 2 straight games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 3 Ks on 7 hits in 5 IP against the Seattle Mariners. They scored 7 runs in their last series averaging just over 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 5 runs against them averaging just under 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Cardinals are coming into this game with a 23-18 record overall and they are 10-8 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 3 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates completing the series sweep 3-0 and they are playing the series finale of a 2-game series with the Blue Jays on Tuesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Miles Mikolas is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while there is no probable pitcher yet on the mound for them here on Tuesday. They scored 28 runs in their last series averaging just over 9 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging just under 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays have had a rough start to the season so far, they played very well at the start then fell into a slump and are starting to play  much better now. Their team is getting healthy and they are starting to round into shape. They also have Gausman starting here and he has had some very good starts this season. The Cardinals just swept the Pirates in their last series but they have not been playing well recently prior to that game and the Blue Jays can hit the ball much better than they can. The Blue Jays also have better pitching and they will start to heat up again here as they have been playing much better recently. The best bet here is on the Blue Jays to win.
