The Cardinals have taken the first two games of the series then losing the Sunday Matinee to the visiting Pirates. Today game 4 of the series has them either in position to start 3-1 or be playing .500 ball to start the year. While going back to last year the Pirates have fared well against the Red Birds winning 5 of the last 10. The Cardinals finished last year as the hottest team in baseball the Central in my opinion is a two horse race between them and the Brewers.
952: MLB: Cardinals
-178
My pick for todays game.
The Guardians dropped the first two in KC only to put up two touchdowns and a field goal up yesterday. Today Civale vs. Hernandez in what could be a pitchers battle. The Royals have won Hernandez last 5 starts vs AL Central teams. Royals have won 6 of 10 vs Cleveland. Guardians look to start the season at .500 and split the series with the Royals. My pick is the Guardians +1.5 (-195).
