Wilson's prediction: The Mets knock Cardinals starter Andre Pallante around and run up the score, clearing their team total tonight at Busch Stadium.Photo By - Reuters Connect. New York Mets left fielder Juan Soto hits a single against the St.
Louis Cardinals. St. Louis Cardinals starter Andre Pallante struggled mightily in 2025, and he doesn't get a soft landing to open his 2026 campaign against the New York Mets tonight.right-hander Andre Pallante had the fourth-highest ERA in 2025 . His peripherals weren't much better, either, as he ranked in the 25th percentile in whiff rate, the 17th in chase percentage, and all the way down in the fourth in strikeout rateCardinals relievers have posted a 7.94 ERA with a 13.6% K-rate and 12.5% BB-rate, so the damage might not stop even after Pallante is yanked. Fading Pallante is the name of the game, and I'm targeting the top of the Mets' lineup to do the bulk of the heavy lifting. Pallante had similar numbers against right-handed and left-handed bats, so we can trust the historic numbers of this trio to make contact on his offerings. Lindor has batted leadoff in all four games, and he's scored in three of them, including the last two. Soto only has one extra-base hit so far, but he's batting .353, and the matchup is extremely favorable. Bichette may seem like the wild card, given how Mets fans booed him out of Citi Field, but he's going to get to the dish with traffic on the bases, and his longstanding contact numbers mean more than one series of struggles. to hit a home run because he's one of only two Mets to go deep this season, but because he's hitting the tar out of the ball, with an average exit velocity ranking in the Top 3 per cent. That's a small sample, but it aligns with his minor-league track record, where Benge hit 15 homers across three levels last season while posting a 150 wRC+. The +870 price tag pushes us over the top in a matchup against a pitching staff that struggles to limit contact.New York has hit the F5 team total Over in 63 of its last 111 games .
