Interleague play is coming to an end with just 5 games left for most of the teams. Today's Free Sports Handicapping pick comes in game 2 of the St Louis Cardinals at Toronto Blue Jays. Without a doubt the best pitching matchup of the series as Carpenter will take on Romero. As even as this one looks on the field is evidence in a really close line as both teams are -105 currently.

Lets take a look at some quick team stats before we give out the free pick for today.

STL 39-31 (16-19 away) Carpenter 8-1 (2.83 ERA)

TOR 38-33 (19-16 home) Romero 6-3 (3.08 ERA)

Recent Betting Trends

-Cardinals are 5-2 in their last 7 interleague games.

-Cardinals are 5-1 in Carpenters last 6 interleague starts.

-Blue Jays are 13-5 in their last 18 home games.

-Blue Jays are 4-0 in Romeros last 4 home starts.

So far this season these teams are really close to complete opposites. STL has been winning with great pitching and very solid defense. On the other hand TOR has been smashing the ball and winning many games by just out hitting their foes. Bad news for TOR today is they face the most consistent National League pitcher of the last two years. You can take it to the bank that Carpenter will keep the ball down in the zone making it very tough for the power hitter of TOR to hit the long ball. Romero starting for TOR is one of those pitchers that gets overlooked due to playing in a great division and playing in Canada. He will throw his normal game of 7 innings 2 run baseball. Today the team with better patience at the plate will come out on top and in my opinion thats a big edge to the St Louis Cardinals.

Free MLB Sports Pick: STL -105 Very close game but lets take the better pitcher and more patient lineup.
