ANALYSIS: Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas hasn't pitched as well as his 2.61 ERA would indicate, and he gives up a lot of hard contact. That should spell trouble against a Braves team that averages 4.93 runs and bashes the most home runs in the National League. We're paying a premium to back ace Max Fried but he's worth it. He's 3-0 with a 0.44 ERA in four career appearances versus St. Louis. Look for the Braves to win their seventh straight over the Cards.
