This is an 8* play OVER St. Louis-Philadelphia

These teams combined to score seven runs in the first four innings yesterday, but after that it was all zeroes on the scoreboard. The Phillies won 4-3, their 8th win in the last 11 games as they continue to pace the NL East. St. Louis has been a moderate disappointment (1 game under .500), though right now the city's bigger concern lies with the Blues. Still, a 7-17 WL record this month definitely isn't good. Despite what we saw Tuesday, both bullpens can be shaky. The Cardinals blew a game in spectacular fashion Sunday night against Atlanta while the Phillies relivers were hardly stellar in the last series (vs. Milwaukee). Starting here for the home team will be Aaron Nola. The Over is 9-2 in his 11 outings as he started the season pretty poorly. He's settled down his last few times on the mound, but his WHIP is still 1.75 over the last three trips. The Over has cashed each of the last six times Nola has started on five or more days rest. He last pitched on Thursday. St. Louis is going with Genesis Cabrera, who is taking Michael Wacha's spot in the rotation for his big league debut. But it's not like Cabrera was dominant down in the minors as he had a 6.35 ERA at Triple-A Memphis. Play OVER St. Louis-Philadelphia
