The St. Louis Cardinals (52-47) and Washington Nationals (34-66) open a 3-game series with a Friday 7:05 p.m. ET game at Nationals Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Cardinals vs. Nationals odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: First meeting. Washington won 4 of 6 from St. Louis in 2021.
The Cardinals are continuing a trip that has thus far seen them go a combined 2-3 in stops in Cincinnati and Toronto. St. Louis owns a robust .859 OPS since July 15.
The Nationals return home after a 3-3 road trip. And they likely wish they could play anything near .500 ball in their home yard. Washington owns the league’s worst mark at home (15-36) and are just 1-10 in their last 11 games in D.C.
