The Boston Red Sox panic meter is cranking up, and they’ll try to turn around a dismal road start in today’s matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Boston slipped to a 3-2 loss at Busch Stadium last night, falling to 1-6 on its travels this year, and my Red Sox vs. Cardinals predictions signal another nervy contest here, with St. Louis chasing a fourth straight win.

Who will win Red Sox vs Cardinals today: St. Louis Cardinals (+122)
At 4-9, the sky is already threatening to fall for this Boston Red Sox squad. While it’s still early days, Boston is tied for the third-fewest runs this season and managed just five hits last night against Dustin May, admittedly without Roman Anthony in the lineup.
Then you layer on some concerns around the Red Sox’s starter tonight, Ranger Suarez, who drags in an ugly 8.64 ERA and hasn’t made it past the fifth inning in either of his outings this year.
That opens the door for the St. Louis Cardinals here at plus odds, and I’m buying into their 5-2 home record.
COVERS INTEL: Suarez’s stuff hasn’t traveled well lately – he’s given up 3+ earned runs in five of his last seven road starts.
Red Sox vs Cardinals Over/Under pick: Over 7.5 (-117)
Despite Boston’s struggles at the plate, I like the Over on this total, particularly with St. Louis sitting inside the Top 10 in runs and OBP.
The Over is 6-2-2 in the past 10 meetings between these teams, and the Cardinals have plated 5+ runs in five of their last six contests, led by the in-form Jordan Walker, who’s put together a six-game hit streak.
Both of Suarez’s outings this year have gone past this O/U number, so given his search for form and the 5.40 ERA for St. Louis starter Kyle Leahy, we should see steady offense in this one.
