St. Louis Cardinals vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction

The St. Louis Cardinals simply play better baseball and have to be the pick. I'd be happy to bet on plus money in a battle between two teams with nothing to play for, but the Colorado Rockies continue to pile up their losses and look like a team just waiting for the season to end. The Cardinals have won 4 straight games and 7 of their last 9 games. Give me the tickets and the cheap price.
