Scott's MLB 3-Game Package
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Cleveland, 07/27/2021 7:10 PM, Score: 4 - 2
Total: 9.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
7* OVER 9 runs in Cleveland - The Indians Cal Quantrill is off a couple solid recent starts but his strikeout numbers are down and I can not overlook the fact he had a recent 4-game stretch in which he produced a 7.58 ERA. Now Quantrill will face a Cardinals lineup loaded with a confidence after putting up 10 runs in a win at Cincinnati Sunday. St Louis is 6-3 last 9 games and has scored an average of 5.4 runs per game last 7 games. The Indians are also off a win Sunday but it was a low-scoring one. However, I expect them to get to Adam Wainwright early and often in this one. Long-term Wainwright has been known for being a better pitcher at home than on the road and this will be his first ever start at Cleveland. This season he has a 5.35 ERA in road games and last season was a shortened season which was a rare exception and the ERA was about the same for him home and away. Most recent full season was 2019 and he had a 6.22 ERA on the road. 2017 he had a 7.32 ERA on the road. 2016 he had a 6.18 ERA on the road. The Cardinals have allowed about 6 runs per game last 3 games and Indians have allowed about 6 runs per game last 6 games. This one flies over the total as both starting pitchers struggle and neither bullpen has been impressive of late either with the Indians relievers ERA actually ranking dead last over the past 7 days and the Cardinals in the bottom half of the majors over that same timeframe. 7* OVER 9 in Cleveland
