[ad_1]

The St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers meet in the rubber match of their three-game match that will take place in the MLB action against Globe Life Park on Sunday afternoon.

The St. Louis Cardinals will be looking to win the series after winning the second game on Saturday, 8-2. Paul DeJong made a home run, a double and four RBIs, while Matt Carpenter and Yadier Molina scored a double for five with one double and one run. Marcell Ozuna and Jose Martinez each added basic touches to complete the team in the St. Louis victory while Harrison Bader played 2 to 4 fours to finish the Cardinals attack in the win. Dakota Hudson got the win to improve to 3-3 over the year after allowing two runs on five hits while removing five in six innings. Jack Flaherty will start the final with a 4-3 record with a points average leading to 4.34 and 53 strikeouts this season. This will be Flaherty's first career start against Texas.

The Texas Rangers will look to rebound after losing their second game on Saturday. Isiah Kiner-Falefa scored twice and RBI 2 for 3, while Willie Calhoun added one of his own RBIs to complete the Texas score as a team in the loss. Ronald Guzman scored 2 goals against 4 while Joey Gallo added a base shot to score Texas as a losing team. Ariel Jurado took the defeat, falling to 1-2, the year after allocating four points, two earned, on five hits, while clearing four times over 4.1 innings of work. Drew Smyly will start the third game and is 0-3 with a 6.8 ERA and 27 strikeouts this season. This will be Smyly's first career start against St. Louis.

St. Louis has a 2-6 record in the last 8 starts on the Flaherty road and 2-6 in its last 8 games overall, while the total is 9-3 in Flaherty's last 12 starts. Texas is 9-4 in its last 13 home games and 1-4 of Smyly's last 5 starts, compared with 14-6-1 in its last 21 games. The inferior is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings between these two teams.

We still have another high total between these two teams for the final, so it's no wonder that the basement was so successful when both teams were stuck. However, I think Sunday's match is the perfect storm for the game to exceed the total. Flaherty was a big hit about his results, but it's not hard to see he's a much better pitcher at home than on the road, with 2.48 at home against 7 , 23 on the road. However, Smyly still does not look well settled, giving up four points in his last five starts. I like that mistakes come to life in the final of the Sunday series, so I go to the side of the final result.
