UPDATE: Royals at Cardinals is expected to begin at 3 p.m. ET.

The start of Saturday afternoon’s matchup between the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals has been delayed due to rain.

First pitch was initially scheduled for 2:15 p.m. ET at Busch Stadium but inclement weather in the area will prevent the contest from starting on time. The updated start time following the rain delay has not yet been announced.

DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Cardinals as -114 home favorites on the Moneyline today. The Royals are slight underdogs at -106 with the run total set at an even nine.

When things get underway, LHP Noah Cameron (2-2, 5.55 ERA, 32 SO) starts for the Royals today. He faces Cardinals RHP Kyle Leahy (4-3, 4.31 ERA, 32 SO).

St. Louis is 26-18 on the year while Kansas City is just 19-26. The Cardinals took game one of this series by a 5-4 margin last night.
