St. Louis Cardinals vs. Texas Rangers Spread, Line, Odds, Predictions, Picks and Betting Preview

Cardinals @ Rangers – First Pitch: 8:05 p.m.

Expected Forecast: Broken Clouds, 88°

We’ve got a scorching MLB  showdown between the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers tonight, with the Rangers set to play host. The odds are in the Rangers’ favor, coming in at -140 on the moneyline, with a total of 9.5. So, what’s the play here?

Pitching is Matthew Liberatore on the mound for the Cardinals, up against DaneDunning for Texas. He’s been quite the revelation, stepping up big-time amidst some significant injuries to his team, like Jacob deGrom lost for the season. Dunning’s been doing his part, keeping the team competitive and allowing the lineup to work its magic.

The Cardinals, on the other hand, have been facing a daunting schedule, with this marking their 12throad game in just a couple of weeks. They’ve been on the move more than home, and the strain is showing. Last night they were up against the wall with Adam Wainwright on the mound, but things didn’t go their way.

So, what’s next for them? Can Liberatore be the guy to stop the Rangers’ lineup from hitting? It’s a tall order. The Cardinals are a falling knife, and as the saying goes, you don’t want to catch that.

Texas has a winning formula. They’ve got a good pitcher on the mound at home, a power-packed lineup, and they’re not priced overwhelmingly high. At -140, it’s a solid deal.
