What is today's free pick for St. Louis Cardinals vs Los Angeles Angels?

The free public pick is LAA (Moneyline) at -122. Angels took Cardinals last night, 5-1. Angels Fade, Cardinals Steady at Home

Why does the model favor LAA?

STL key absences: JoJo Romero (RP, Out, 5.0pt impact); Ramón Urías (3B, Out, 5.0pt impact); Max Rajcic (SP, Out, 5.0pt impact) — total ~15.0pt swing. STL absences total 15.0pt swing; LAA injuries compound to 20.0pt, but Angels' home splits (24-27) remain fragile.

LAA's 41-61 record masks deeper rot—Angels are 17-34 on the road, and STL's 5-3 recent form could evaporate if Ramón Urías returns before first pitch.
