This is an 8* play on the St. Louis Cardinals.

St. Louis managed a tight 3-2 win on Saturday afternoon and we expect the home side to find a way to deliver the goods on Sunday as well with its ace on the mound. The visitors hand the ball to Nick Kingham (2-1, 3.75 ERA) who will get another start in the rotation because of the injury to Ivan Nova. In his previous outing Kingham gave up three runs off eight hits in a no-decision against the Cubs on Tuesday. Kingham has been sharp in his limited time as a starter, but he clearly draws a tough matchup here. The home side turns to Michael Wacha (6-1, 2.71) who gave up one run over seven innings to earn the victory over the Brewers on Tuesday. Wacha has now allowed two earned runs or fewer in eight straight starts and note that he's been at his best at home by going 4-0 with a 2.21 ERA thus far. Kingham's been great, but Wacha has been downright nasty in friendly confines and we think he offers fantastic value in this matchup. Play on ST. LOUIS.
