Pick

I’m backing the Cardinals here. San Francisco found a way to get the job done on Monday, but I think the Cardinals can get some revenge here. Alex Cobb hasn’t been very good on the road this season and while Jack Flaherty hasn’t been anything special at home himself, he has been pitching fairly well as of late and I think he’s got a good shot at getting the Cards a win here.
