Money Line: -123.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals.

I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The Cardinals have looked really good in their games lately, winning 6 games in a row and I expect them to get the sweep here. It's not just 6 wins in a row for them now, they have been really hot over the last few weeks and are really starting to surge toward the playoffs. The Brewers had the division lead for a good majority of the year but the Cardinals have looked so good lately that they have passed the Brewers for the division lead and now have a 5 game lead over them. I think the Cardinals are going to continue to stay hot here and I don't see their offense slowing down either with the number of runs they have been putting up lately. They have put up 10+ runs in 2/3 of their previous 3 games and I expect their offense to carry them in this game too. The D-Backs really haven't looked great in their games over the last week, and their offense is not putting up a ton of runs either, even in the games they are winning. Jose Quintana (4-5, 3.98 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has looked good in his starts this year. He was giving up a ton of runs in one stretch of the season but he was also on a very bad team then and he has looked a lot better in his starts since coming to the Cardinals. He hasn't given up more than 2 runs in any of his starts with the Cardinals and he has done that in 5 starts in a row now, going back to his days on the Pirates. I expect him to continue pitching well here and shut down this D-Backs offense that hasn't looked great lately. Merrill Kelly (10-5, 2.81 ERA) is up for the D-Backs here and he has looked good in his starts this year and lately, but he also hasn't seen any strong lineups lately and this Cardinals offense is really hot right now putting up a ton of runs. Kelly has had some bad starts against good lineup this year where he gives up a ton of runs and I think this is going to be one of those starts with the Cardinals as hot as they are. I don't see their offense slowing down here and I expect them to put up runs on Kelly here while Quintana shuts the D-Backs lineup down. I like the Cardinals to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Cardinals.
