The St Louis Cardinals head to the Big Apple to take on the New York Mets in a four-game set. St Louis has struggled over the last week losing five of the last seven. The Mets lead the NL East. The Cardinals will send Miles Mikolas to the mound for today's start. he is 3-1 this season with a 1.49 ERA. It doesn't get any easier after him as the Cards have posted the 8th best team ERA at 3.44 and the 17th best WHIP at 1.23. The Mets will have to turn to Trevor Williams for the start due to the injury to Tyler Megill. He has made five appearances this season with one start. The Cards will want t get their runs early as the Mets have the 5th best team ERA at 3.27 and the third-best WHIP at 1.08.

This could be the best chance for the Cards to get a win and they have their best pitcher going against the Mets. Miles Mikolas has allowed just one run in each of his last two starts. The Cards have an advantage n the mound, at least as far as starters go. I will take the Cards t take the first game of the series.

Play on the St. Louis Cardinals. This is a 7* play.
