St. Louis Cardinals vs The Athletics Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/12/26

The St. Louis Cardinals head to West Sacramento to battle the Athletics for an interleague series opener on Tuesday night. The Cards send RHP Andre Pallante to the hill, and the 27-year-old California native looks to pitch well in his home state. He has lasted six innings in back-to-back starts, his most of the season, as he builds up his stamina. He has allowed three or fewer runs in three of the past four outings, too, although homers have been a bit of a concern, with at least one allowed in five straight games. He has also issued 16 walks across 37 1/3 IP, which isn’t optimal.

For the A’s, LHP Jeffery Springs takes the ball for the home side. The 33-year-old southpaw has allowed two or fewer runs in each of his past two outings, but he also has had issues with the long ball lately, allowing seven in his past four outings, including four in a game against the White Sox at home on April 19. While the A’s have cashed low in three in a row, and the Cardinals are 4-0 to the Under in the past four games, and 6-1-1 in the previous eight outings, let’s lean high here with these 2 pitchers who have struggled to keep it in the park.
