    A Look at the Free MLB Betting Pick on Arizona at St. Louis & Game Info

    When: Friday, May 20, 2016, 8:15 PM Eastern time Where: Busch Stadium, St. Louis TV: FSA, FSM Radio: Arizona / St. Louis Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA Pitching Matchup: Patrick Corbin (1-3, 4.14 ERA) (ARI) vs Carlos Martinez (4-3, 3.14 ERA) (STL)

    Why Should You Bet on Arizona?

    Jake Lamb found his power stroke again in the Yankee series, slugging a two-run homer in their Tuesday win over the Pinstripes, and Arizona pounded out 10 base hits. The Diamondbacks do not have a powerful starting rotation, with the exception of Zack Greinke, and so Arizona has to hit if they are going to win. They have the talent on the roster, but Paul Goldschmidt can’t provide all of the offense by himself. Martinez should give them enough hittable pitches to get an early lead.

    Why Should You Put Your Money on the Cardinals?

    Carlos Martinez got off to a hot start this year, but his last three starts have been mixed. His most recent one was better, although his 40-pitch fifth inning saw two walks and three earned runs — and saw him go to the shower. If he pitches well again, and can finish five or six innings, that will be huge for the Cards. Diamondbacks slugger Paul Goldschmidt is only hitting .111 against Martinez in his career, so neutralizing that big bat will be a huge help.

    Expert Betting Pick and Final Winner Prediction

    The big problem for the Diamondbacks in this one is their starting pitcher, as Patrick Corbin has not picked up a win since April 17, a five-game slide. I am predicting the Cardinals to roll to a 7-4 win.
