The Cardinals are coming off a 6-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on the road Sunday. St. Louis lost that three-game series, 2-1. St. Louis will have some short-term issues on the roster to deal with, as some of its players will not be able to join the team for its trip north of the border. All-Stars Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt will not be playing in Toronto as both are unvaccinated against COVID-19. Taking the mound for the Cardinals in this upcoming contest will be Andre Pallante, who enters the game with a 3-4 record and a 3.34 ERA along with a 1.46 WHIP. In his last start, Pallante allowed 3 earned runs on 6 hits in a 7-3 home win to the Reds on July 15 at home. The Cardinals are 2-0 in his last couple of starts, in which he allowed 6 earned runs on 15 hits. With Goldschmidt and Arenado out, the Cardinals’ pair of Dylan Carlson and Tommy Edman will have to step up. They are hitting .256 and .257, respectively while combining for 2 home runs and 61 RBIs, so far this year.
