Cardinals vs A's Prediction

The St Louis Cardinals will open this series on Monday at home with the victory over the Athletics. St. Louis has won four of its last six, and the Cardinals are still in the hunt for a National League wild card, trailing the final spot by 5.5 games, while the Athletics are well off the pace of playoff contention, giving the Cards much more incentive to win. St Louis starter Sonny Gray has had two consecutive solid outings, allowing four runs across 12.0 innings. Final Score Prediction: St. Louis Cardinals win 6-2.
