8* Cardinals (SITUATIONAL MISMATCH)

We have two really good starting pitchers going head-to-head here, but it's a matchup that favors the home side in my opinion. The D-Backs hand the ball to Merril Kelly, who is 0-2 with a 2.93 ERA, while the home side counters with Jack Flaherty, who is 1-1 with a 1.76 ERA. Flaherty allowed one run over six innings in a victory at Colorado last time out. He's 0-1 with a 2.77 ERA in two career starts vs. Arizona. Kelly has struggled with control over his last two starts, walking eight batters over his last 11 innings. While 2-1 with a 3.38 ERA lifetime vs. the Cards, "recent performance" is the big indicator of regression for Kelly in this instance. Look for the hungry Cards to keep the foot on the gas in this favorable matchup and lay the price with confidence; the play is St. Louis!
