Yesterday’s Results for St. Louis Cardinals vs New York Mets

Sean's MLB O/U SMASH >> THREE IN A ROW?

Analysis: My selection is on the 'under' between St. Louis and New York at 7:10 pm et on Friday. Neither of these offenses have impressed me all that much in the early going this season and I think the starting pitching matchup serves our purposes well on Friday night in Queens. Miles Mikolas had a terrific Spring for the Cardinals but that hasn't carried over to the regular season as he checks in sporting a FIP north of five. This might be just the matchup to get him back on track, however. Note that current Mets hitters have gone 32-for-137 off of him with just 12 extra base hits. Only D.J. Stewart and Tyrone Taylor have managed to take Mikolas deep. Of note, Pete Alonso is just 2-for-12 off of Mikolas with a pair of singles. Mets starter Jose Butto has been terrific through three starts this season, sporting a 2.59 FIP and 1.04 WHIP. No current Cardinals hitter has seen Butto before. Both bullpens have been serviceable in the early going, particularly when holding leads (15 converted saves and only five blown combined). Take the under (8*).
