St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Miles Mikolas surrendered five runs in six innings Friday in a loss to the Phillies. It’s the ninth time this season that Mikolas has allowed at least five earned runs. The only other pitcher with him in that club is Jordan Lyles, who has done in 10 times. The loss leaves Mikolas 6-10 with a 4.66 ERA.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Alec Bohm went 2-for-4 and hit a long homer Friday as the Phillies took down the Cardinals 7-2. The homer off Miles Mikolas traveled 444 feet to left-center. Bohm’s .284/.338/.433 line isn’t remarkable, but he’s up to 78 RBI in 114 games for the year. Last year, he drove in 77 runs in 152 games.

Cardinals vs. Phillies MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me Philly on the runline. Hudson has pitched well since re-entering the Cardinals’ terrible rotation but he walks too many batters, he doesn’t pitch deep into games because he’s often dealing with high counts and he’s bound to have a blow up at some point. Wheeler, meanwhile, should shutdown a depleted St. Louis lineup that barely looks like its trying these days. While the Phillies are fighting for playoff positioning, the Cardinals are merely playing out their string of games to get to the offseason.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -1.5 (+100)
