St. Louis Cardinals Showing Improvement Despite Holding Last Place in NL Central

The St. Louis Cardinals have shown improvement in their recent games, despite the pressure of currently holding the last position in the NL Central. With four wins in their last six games and a close extra-innings loss in their most recent outing, the team has performed better on the road compared to the Detroit Tigers at home. The Cardinals hold an 8-8 road record, while the Tigers are 6-8 at home, lacking a strong home-field advantage. In terms of pitching, both teams are fairly even, but Steven Matz of the Cardinals has only allowed two home runs, whereas Maeda of the Tigers has allowed seven in just five starts. With the Tigers ranking 28th in team batting average in the majors, their offensive capabilities are limited. Based on these factors, it is recommended to wager on the Cardinals securing the victory in this matchup.
