Colorado Rockies @ St. Louis Cardinals Preview

The St. Louis Cardinals (61-60) host the Colorado Rockies (31-88) in the rubber match of their series at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals are looking to rebound after a 3-0 loss to the Rockies on Tuesday, a game where Colorado snapped an eight-game losing streak. St. Louis has been playing better recently, holding a 6-4 record in their last ten games, while the Rockies are struggling at 2-8 over the same span.

On the mound for the Cardinals will be right-hander Michael McGreevy, who holds a 4-2 record with a 4.40 ERA this season. McGreevy is coming off his best performance of the season, throwing six scoreless innings in a 5-0 win over the Chicago Cubs. He has a strong track record against the Rockies, with a 1-0 record and a 3.00 ERA in two career starts, including a win on July 21st where he allowed just two runs (one earned) over seven innings.

The Rockies will counter with left-hander Austin Gomber, who is still searching for his first win of the season, carrying an 0-6 record with a high 6.52 ERA. Gomber struggled in his last outing, giving up six runs over six innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks. His history against the Cardinals is also concerning, with a 1-3 record and a 6.89 ERA in seven career appearances, including a loss to McGreevy on July 21st where he surrendered five runs on 11 hits.

Offensively, the Cardinals boast a solid lineup, ranking 9th in batting average (.249) and 5th in doubles (207). Key contributors include Willson Contreras, who leads the team with 16 home runs and 65 RBIs, and Alec Burleson, batting .279 with 14 home runs. Brendan Donovan has been a consistent hitter with 115 hits and 24 doubles. The Rockies' offense is led by Hunter Goodman (22 HR, 64 RBIs) and Mickey Moniak (17 HR, 45 RBIs), but as a team, they rank 28th in runs scored.

Pick: St. Louis Cardinals Moneyline

widget-odds-mlb-su-11917-COL-STL

The St. Louis Cardinals are the clear favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. Their starting pitcher, Michael McGreevy, has been effective against the Rockies in his career and is coming off a strong outing. On the other hand, Austin Gomber has struggled significantly this season, particularly against the Cardinals. The Cardinals also have a better overall record and are playing at home, where they have a winning record. The sharp money is heavily backing the Cardinals on the moneyline, with a 67.79% sharp win percentage, and computer models project a comfortable win for St. Louis. Betting on the Cardinals to win outright at -220 on BetMGM offers a solid play given the pitching mismatch and overall team performance.

Top Player Prop Picks

Willson Contreras (St. Louis Cardinals) Over Total Bases

widget-props-mlb-11917-6245299

Willson Contreras has an exceptional historical matchup against Rockies pitcher Austin Gomber. In 10 plate appearances against Gomber, Contreras has recorded 4 hits, including an impressive 3 home runs, leading to a .500 batting average and a staggering 1.625 slugging percentage. His .842 wOBA against Gomber highlights his dominance in this specific matchup. Given Gomber's struggles this season and Contreras's power, he is in a prime position to exceed his total bases prop.

Masyn Winn (St. Louis Cardinals) Over Total Bases

Another Cardinals hitter with a favorable history against Austin Gomber is Masyn Winn. In 9 plate appearances, Winn has collected 4 hits, including 3 doubles and a triple, resulting in a .500 batting average and a 1.125 slugging percentage. His .671 wOBA against Gomber indicates he consistently makes hard contact. While the sample size is small, Winn's ability to hit for extra bases against Gomber makes him a strong candidate to go over his total bases prop.

Brendan Donovan (St. Louis Cardinals) Over Total Bases

Brendan Donovan also presents a good opportunity for total bases against Austin Gomber. In 9 plate appearances, Donovan has 2 hits, including a double, with a .286 batting average and a .429 slugging percentage. While not as explosive as Contreras or Winn, Donovan's consistent contact and ability to get on base against Gomber, combined with Gomber's high ERA, make him a reliable pick to contribute to the Cardinals' offense and hit the over on his total bases prop.
