Rangers vs. Cards Game 6 Free Pick
(The Spread) – With their season on the line, can the Cardinals push a Game 7 in the World Series with a win tonight in Game 6?
Oddsmakers have installed the Cardinals as –114 money line favorites for tonight’s game with the Rangers, who are +107 on the ML. The over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 7 runs.
The Cardinals had an opportunity to take both games in St. Louis earlier in this series but after winning Game 1, Jason Motte blew a save in the top of the ninth as Texas rallied for a 2-1 win in Game 2. Now St. Louis turns to the same pitcher that shut the Rangers down in that same Game 2, as Jaime Garcia takes the hill against Colby Lewis for Game 6 tonight.

Garcia was lights out in Game 2, allowing zero runs on three hits over 7.0 innings of work. The left-hander struck out seven batters that while walking just one in a fantastic 87-pitch outing. Meanwhile, Lewis pitched 6.2 innings of one-run ball while striking out four batters while walking two in his 96-pitch outing.
Game 6 Free Pick: Take St. Louis. This series has reeked of seven games since the Rangers’ come-from-behind victory in Game 2. I have more faith in Garcia repeating his effort last week at home than I do Lewis halting the Cardinals’ bats on the road for a second-straight start. According to latest MLB trends, the Cardinals are 5-1 in their last six games as a home favorite and 13-3 in their last 16 games following a loss. They’re also 4-1 in their last five World Series home games while the Rangers are 3-9 in Lewis’ last 12 starts when allowing two runs or less in their previous game.
