The Blue Jays hope their bats can heat up against the Cardinals. Here are the best bets for tonight's tilt in St. Louis.
Over/Under analysis
Hicks is unlikely to pitch past the fifth inning, meaning manager Oliver Marmol will need a bridge to get to the intimidating trio of Genesis Cabrera, Ryan Helsley, and Giovanny Gallegos. He figures to use Andre Pallante or Drew VerHagen, either of which would seem to be a solid choice. Cabrera, Helsley, and Gallegos all worked a scoreless inning on Monday, with the Blue Jays failing to scratch out even one hit. Helsley has been particularly impressive in 2022, notching 13 scoreless appearances in a row. He’s struck out 26 batters while walking only two. Gallegos would have a 0.64 ERA this season if you took away the games in which he pitched against the Mets, as two of them ended very badly for him.
Goldschmidt was the hero on Monday thanks to his 10th-inning grand slam. That hit brought his RBI total up to 23 for May. He’s punishing pitchers at the plate this month, authoring a .392 average to go with six four-baggers.
