June 6 MLB Houston St. Louis Overseas Baseball Analysis Free Broadcast Sports Analysis
Houston Astros, who have succeeded in winning streaks due to the explosion of the batting lineup, will attempt to achieve their sixth win of the season with Ronel Blanco (5 wins, 1 loss, 2.44 ERA).
Blanco suffered a defeat with 4 runs allowed in 4.2 innings during a home game against Minnesota on the 1st, revealing a significant issue with his control, which is unlike Blanco. He should bet on the fact that he still has no losses with a 2-2 record and a 2.55 ERA in day games this season. In the previous day's game, Houston’s lineup, which scored 8 points including a 3-run home run by Yainer Diaz, showed terrifying destructive power limited to this series alone by breaking down Palante. The batting lineup is making up for the runners in scoring position with long hits and sacrifice flies, despite only having 2 hits in 11 at-bats. After Urquidy was injured and removed, the bullpen allowed 3 runs over 6 innings, making Ryan Pressley's save very welcome.
St. Louis Cardinals, who have continued their losing streak due to unstable starting pitching, will challenge for their fourth win of the season with Miles Mikolas (3 wins, 6 losses, 5.54 ERA). Mikolas suffered a defeat with 3 runs allowed over 6 innings in an away game against Philadelphia on the 1st, but his recent pitching content has been relatively stable. However, the significant issue is that he is notably weak with a 1-4 record and a 7.36 ERA in day games, which could be the biggest variable in this game. St. Louis’s lineup, which scored 5 points including 3 home runs in the previous game although they lost, has maintained decent slugging power recently. However, their focus is an issue as evidenced by leaving 11 runners on base. The bullpen allowed 2 runs over 5 innings, and the decision not to let Matthew Liberatore pitch long turned out to be a boomerang.
In this series, Houston’s lineup is showing unexpected concentration.
It seems that Mikolas, who is weak during the day games, will find it difficult to endure. Although it is true that Blanco's recent pitching has been a bit disappointing compared to before, his stability in day games is not bad, and Houston succeeded in saving Hader in the previous game. Houston Astros, who have an edge in starting pitching, are closer to victory.
Expected Score: 7:4, Houston Victory
Handicap: Houston Victory
Under Over: Over
