St. Louis Cardinals vs New York Yankees

St. Louis Cardinals at New York Yankees (2026-08-03). Michael McGreevy vs Cam Schlittler at Yankee Stadium.

Starters — Michael McGreevy carries a 3.57 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 116.0 innings, with a modest 5.9 K/9, solid 2.25 BB/9, and 1.16 HR/9. His last three starts were uneven: 1.2 innings and 7 earned runs on July 28, 6.1 innings and 4 earned runs on July 23, and 6.1 innings with 1 earned run on July 17. The recent trend is up, and bettors should weigh the sharp blowup in his most recent outing against otherwise decent season-long run prevention. Cam Schlittler has been dominant with a 2.04 ERA and 0.91 WHIP over 136.2 innings, backed by 10.87 K/9, 1.71 BB/9, and 0.79 HR/9. His last three starts were strong: 6.1 innings and 1 earned run on July 29, 7.1 scoreless innings on July 24, and 4.1 innings with 3 earned runs on July 19. The recent trend is down, and his profile shows clear swing-and-miss ability plus elite control.

Teams — St. Louis enters with a .689 OPS and 483 runs scored, while the pitching staff has a 4.14 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. The Cardinals are 3-7 over their last 10 games, which adds some concern around current form, especially with a below-average offensive baseline. New York has a .721 OPS and 512 runs scored, with a stronger team pitching line of 3.28 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. The Yankees are 6-4 in their last 10, and their statistical edge is fairly balanced across both run creation and prevention. From a betting perspective, New York brings the cleaner overall team profile, while St. Louis may need efficiency from McGreevy to offset the gap in strikeout upside and bullpen support indicators.
