Saint Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia Phillies 5/30/19 – MLB Pick, Preview, Prediction
The Cardinals had a chance to be very competitive on the year, but now the Cardinals are starting to falter to a point and are not looking like the team that they were early on this season. What else is not helping the Cardinals out is they cannot say it is because of this player or that player was injured as the Cardinals are coming into this game with no injuries reported. The Phillies have actually looked impressive at times this season and definitely are looking like a team that has put the majority of the pieces in place to have a chance to threaten for the division lead all season long.

My Free MLB Pick: Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies are a team that has played decent at home and with Eickhoff on the mound has been able to play decent as well. The Cardinals, are a team that has a lot of potential, but for some reason are unable to put it together when they are playing on the road this season. Look for the Cardinals to come into this game with a lot of hopes, but end up having some problems in locking down the win in this game here as the Phillies are able to bring home a win. Final Score, Philadelphia Phillies win 5-2.
