The Yankees are still missing Giancarlo Stanton, recovering from Achilles issues. STL's starter Montgomery who came over from the Yanks also has the advantage of knowing the tendencies of much of the Yankees lineup and should know how to attack the Bombers. He will likely pitch around MVP Aaron Judge and force other Yankees to beat him. As for the Cardinals, they should be able to exploit German's inability to pinpoint his sinker and force him into a high pitch count early on. He has struggled with his command.
With that in mind, the Cardinals should be able to do some damage against a Yankee bullpen that has been taxed lately allowing over five runs per game over the past week heading into this series.

Take the Cardinals on Saturday night to steal another win from NY.
