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

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason. We believe that the massive talent discrepancy on the mound absolutely justifies in laying this larger price. The visitors have recalled Trevor Richards (4.94 ERA in the bigs) to make this start. Richards has looked great in Triple-A, but to go along with his poor ERA in the majors, he also sports a mediocre 24:14 K:BB over 23.2 frames of work. Miles Mikolas (6-1, 2.49) gets the nod for the Cards and he most recently gave up two runs off six hits over six innings in an unfortunate loss to Pittsburgh on Friday. In seven of his 11 outings this year Mikolas has given up two runs or fewer while going at least six frames. To go along with his superb 2.49 ERA, Mikolas also sports an elite 1.00 WHIP, while holding his opposition to a mere .234 batting average. Note that he's been particularly good at home as well with a 3-1, 1.53 ERA record. Note as well that Miami is just 6-11 (-1.2 units) in all day games this year, while St. Louis is 16-12 (+1.3 units) in all day contests. Lay the price with confidence, play on the CARDINALS.
