8* play on St. Louis Cardinals.
The Cardinals are on a roll, coming into Game 2 of this series versus Cincinnati as winners of six of seven. They crushed the Reds 14-3 in Game 1, and with ace Adam Wainwright on the mound in Game 2, it should be more of the same.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - Wainwright has not been sharp in two starts on the road, but this will be his first start of the season in St. Louis. He is 19-10 with a 2.83 ERA in his last 33 starts at Busch Stadium. The Reds hand the ball to Brandon Finnegan, who struggled with his command issuing five walks in his last start.
2. Batter vs. Pitcher - The Cardinals haven't seen a lot of Finnegan, but Matt Carpenter has liked what he's seen, going 2-for-5 in previous meetings. Both of those hits left the ballpark.
3. X-Factor - The Cardinals are 83-35 in their last 118 home games.
Selection: This is a play on the St. Louis Cardinals (8*)
