We may not need them but I will be happy to take an extra +1.5 runs with the Cardinals this afternoon. Nola was much better last start after he got pounded in his first one. He still walked 4 batters and has a 6.30 ERA through 2 starts. Nola's last start against the Cardinals was a 1-run game.

On the same day, that Nola was getting hammered by the Braves, Lynn blanked the Dodgers through 4 innings. He has 12 strikeouts against 2 walks so far this season. Lynn had some good years here earlier in his career and the Cardinals are 2-0 in his 2 starts this season. Lynn's teams are 6-1 his last 7 starts and 11-3 his last 14. Play the Cardinals on the Run-Line.
