Toronto Blue Jays vs. St. Louis Cardinals Odds, Line, Picks, and Prediction - July 26 | 2022 MLB Season
The Toronto Blue Jays will host the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday night. The Blue Jays defeated the Boston Red Sox 8-4 Sunday to complete the sweep and move to 53-43 this season. Meanwhile, the Cardinals now find themselves at 51-46 this year after a disappointing loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.

3B Nolan Arenado, 1B Paul Goldschmidt & C Austin Romine have been placed on the Restricted List.

Jose Berrios will take the hill Tuesday for the Blue Jays. He is 7-4 with a 5.22 ERA in 19 starts this season. He has struggled mightily this year, and he'll be facing a good Cardinals lineup that scores the ninth-most runs per game. St. Louis, though, will be without their best hitters, Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado.
In Berrios' previous start, he threw 6 1/3 frames, giving up two earned runs and punching out seven. Recently, the former Minnesota Twin has been very consistent, surrendering just six earned runs in his last 18 1/3 innings. He's had a rough year overall, but he has a good chance to record his fourth straight quality start on Tuesday.
St. Louis sends out righty Adrian Pallante for Tuesday's contest. He'll be tasked with an offense that is ranked #3 in runs per game.
Last outing, Pallante threw five innings, surrendering six hits and three earned runs while fanning five. He's now allowed 13 earned runs in his last 14 1/3 innings, which isn't encouraging. The Cardinals' righty has been awful away from home this season, holding a 6.75 road ERA in three road starts.
Toronto is averaging an impressive 8.4 runs in their past seven, helped by a 28-run output on Friday.
