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

We think the Cards will build off the win yesterday with their ace on the mound. St. Louis turns to Michael Wacha (7-1, 2.41 ERA) who gave up one hits with two walks while striking out eight over eight scoreless in a victory over the Pirates on Sunday. Wacha comes into this one on top form, having posted a quality start in each of his past five outings; note that he's 2-1 with a 2.59 ERA in all day contests as well. The Reds go with Luis Castillo (4-6, 5.64) who comes in off a second straight loss, giving up four runs off six hits over 4.2 innings while striking out three and walking one. Castillo has now been shelled for four earned runs in back-to-back outings and note that he's just 2-3 with a 5.12 ERA in all day contests. In our opinion, this line could/should easily be a lot larger.
