The Cardinals are 4-1 in their last 5 overall, 4-1 in Westbrook’s last 5 home starts, and they have an Under record of 11-5 in their last 16 home games.
Jason’s Pick: Westbrook has pitched well against weak offensive teams this season and that is just is what Philly is, as St. Louis will win this game.
