Starting
Pitchers
St. Louis: Garcia (13-7,
3.56 ERA)
Milwaukee: Greinke (16-6,
3.83 ERA)
For
those of you who can tear yourselves away from ‘Front Row’ Amy Williams ...
There’s
a lot of bad blood here, so don’t be surprised, if the moment is right, to see ‘Tony Plush’
get plunked after his boneheaded Tweeting. Zack Greinke has decided to
announce, "Nobody really likes Carpenter"; the Cards will be fired up.
Well,
I like Garcia; he was pitching
beautifully LTO, until he got taken deep by Ben Francisco after hanging one.
Make no mistake; if he does that today, the Brewers have the power to hurt him
again, but Garcia has a .253/.302/.377 line against this Milwaukee lineup and he
was 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA against them this season.
The
Brewers' starting rotation had a 6.75 ERA against the Diamondbacks (contrast
the Cards’ pitching, which carried the stuttering offense) and Greinke has a
.284/.325/.418 line against these hitters. He went 2-1 with a 3.15 ERA against
the Cards this season, but his last outing saw him give up three homers and
four earned runs, although he got the win - he’s not a 1.7 back.
The
Cards won six of the last seven games between the clubs, and I’ll take them to
win this first game, I’ll also take a little Overs with a 7.5 line and some
nervous tension in the air!
Pick: Cards @ 2.35;
135; 27/20
Pick: Over 7.5 @
1.87; -115; 20/23
