8* CARDS RUNLINE (DESTRUCTION)

The Cardinals dropped the opener of this series by a score of 4-3, before then bouncing back in yesterday's 4-2 victory. We've had a couple of lower-scoring tighter battles to open this series, and all signs point to a similar result here as well. Matthew Liberatore is 0-0 with a 7.71 ERA for the Cards. This is his 2nd career outing. He gave up 4 runs over 5 innings to the Pirates in his first start, striking out 3 as well. I expect him to settle down here. Adrian Houser is 3-4 with a 2.98 ERA for the Brewers. He gave up 1 run over 6 innings vs. the Braves in his last outing. Off B2B gems though, I think regression is now in order. In a contest that I see being decided late or in extra innings, I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 runs in our back pocket; the play is the Cards on the runline!
