Yankees at Cardinals picks and predictions
Prediction
Cardinals 5, Yankees 4
Money line
The Cards are on a roll, and there is more to like about Montgomery.
German is coming off 90 pitches in his last, and he’s backed by a Yankee bullpen that has fallen from what were lofty heights the first 3 months of the season.
TAKE ST. LOUIS (-115).

Run line/Against the spread
PASS. The Redbirds plus 1 1/2 is pricey and doesn’t make as much sense with the Over lean.
Over/Under
On a warm and humid night in St. Louis — and with a couple fly-ballers on the mound — BACK THE OVER 8.5 (-120).
