St. Louis Cardinals vs Colorado Rockies Pick

Neither starting pitcher provides much certainty, especially in the offensive environment at Coors Field. St. Louis has the more complete roster and should have success against an inexperienced starter and a vulnerable Colorado bullpen. Take the Cardinals to pull away during the middle and late innings.
