The Cardinals are the 17th best in the Majors in Relieving Pitching, while the Padres are 10th.
On the hitting side, the Cardinals have a .302 wOBA and a .322 OBP. The Padres have a .335 wOBA and a .331 OBP. The Cardinals have 51 HRs this season while the Padres have 95 HRs.
I like the Padres here to cover the spread. They should come out and dominate the Cardinals in this one.
