This is a 6* DESTRUCTION on the St. Louis Cardinals.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason, and in this case we absolutely believe that Michael Wacha and the hard-hitting home side could/should easily be much larger ones. The visitors hand the ball to Brandon Finnegan (0-1, 10.38) who was rocked for five runs off six hits and four walks over 4.1 innings in a loss to these very Cardinals on Saturday. Wacha (2-1, 5.52) gave up three earned urns off five hits while walking three and striking out five over five innings in a victory over Cincinnati on Thursday. Despite grinding, Wacha still posted 11 swinging strikes, while keeping six of the ten balls he put into play on the ground. Note that Cincinnati is a terrible 2-13 (-10.5 units) against right-handed starters this year, while St. Louis 3-1 (+1.8 units) against southpaws. No upset here, lay the price. Play on the CARDINALS.
