Rockies vs Cardinals MLB Betting Preview
Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
The Colorado Rockies come into this matchup with a 45-70 record and are 18-38 on the road. Ryan Feltner is coming off a win against the Royals, allowing four runs over six innings despite another uneven outing.
Feltner has struggled recently, posting an 11.48 ERA over his last three appearances while giving up 24 hits. He'll be looking for a much cleaner performance against St. Louis.
St. Louis Cardinals Betting Preview
On the other side, the St. Louis Cardinals are 57-58 on the season and 28-32 at home. Kyle Leahy has been one of the club's most consistent starters, especially after an outstanding July in which he posted a 1.38 ERA with 24 strikeouts across 26 innings.
Leahy has continued that strong form into his recent outings, recording a 2.00 ERA with 16 strikeouts and just two walks over his last three starts. He'll try to keep that momentum going as the Cardinals look to defend home field.
Rockies vs Cardinals Pick, Betting Analysis
Jake McCarthy faces a tough situational matchup today against Cardinals starter Kyle Leahy. Leahy has been virtually unhittable lately, riding a stellar July (1.38 ERA) into a dominant recent stretch where he boasts a 2.00 ERA with 16 strikeouts and just two walks over his last three starts. In a tough environment at Busch Stadium, run-producing opportunities for McCarthy should be extremely limited.
McCarthy’s recent output strongly supports fading his RBI prop. Over his last seven games, he has failed to record an RBI in five of them, relying on rare multi-RBI outbursts rather than steady daily production.
Our Action Network PRO System projects McCarthy for just 0.18 RBIs today, offering a solid 10.2% edge (B Grade) against the market line of 0.5. Take Jake McCarthy Under 0.5 RBI with confidence.
