The Cardinals have very little hype around them as they enter a rebuild process, but that doesn’t mean they can’t rattle off some wins this spring. St. Louis headlines today’s spring training picks and predictions.

Pick #1: White Sox vs. Mariners – Over 11
George Kirby could still be an ace, but an uneven 2025 brought on by a delayed start due to injuries may linger a bit. At the very least, it may limit his exposure today.
With Anthony Kay on the bump for the Chicago White Sox in his return from overseas, I expect the Seattle Mariners‘ bats to come alive.
Given both scenarios, that has me eyeing the Over on a lofty total.
Pick #2: Cardinals moneyline
The St. Louis Cardinals and Washington Nationals may compete with the Rockies for the worst record in the National League during the regular season, but that doesn’t mean squat in preseason.
The St. Louis youth movement will be on full display, and I like the Cardinals at slight plus money opposite right-hander Cade Cavalli, who has yet to live up to his prospect hype for a variety of reasons.
I’m interested to see if Jordan Walker can finally play up to his potential, and if J.J. Wetherholt is as polished as he’s touted to be.
Pick #3: Guardians vs. Dodgers – Under 10.5
The Los Angeles Dodgers clearly have enough thump in the lineup to clear this total on their own, but I am bullish on Cleveland Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams and the bullpen behind him this season.
Beyond Jose Ramirez, Cleveland’s offense is still a shambles, and until it can prove otherwise, I’ll happily fade it.
