Mike Soroka continues to establish himself as one of the best young pitchers in the game. All seven starts this season have graded out above average, and he's in tremendous form entering this game. STL starter Dakota Hudson has been out well below average and his last four starts at home have all been negative. Left-handed hitters have hit him well and Atlanta has 4 big ones in their lineup.
This is a very substantial edge on the mound and batting strongly favors Atlanta as well.
The Braves are hitting and are 8-2 their last 10 games while the Cardinals are 2-6 their last 8 games.
The Cardinals just aren't hitting much and they mixed up the batting order on Friday night to try and shake things up, which is never a good sign. Lets go with the ATLANTA Braves on Saturday.
