MLB - 903 St Louis Cardinals @ 904 Washington Nationals
(Starting Pitchers: A. Wainwright vs G. Gonzalez)
St Louis has been a disaster over their last three games, where they were outscored by a combined of 1-22! However, they will start their ace Wainwright and I believe he will help the Cardinals to have a bounce back game in here. After a complete game against Houston, Wainwright dominated the Reds on the road last Sunday, while posting a 3.18 ERA, 2.93 FIP and 3.70 xFIP. This is a good spot for him and with him being at his top form, I believe the Nationals will struggle to do anything on offense against him on this game.
The Nationals will start Gonzalez, who is coming from a 2-4 loss to the Phillies, in a game where he allowed five hits and three runs. He has been solid lately, but clearly not at the top level that Wainwright has been showing lately. The Cardinals offense had three terrible games in a row, but I believe this is a good spot for them to bounce back, as Gonzalez isn't looking unstoppable right now and Fulcral's injury yesterday may fire them up to have a good game tonight.
I believe the Cardinals will have a clear SP edge on this contest and with them finally generating a bit of run support, I expect St Louis to get out of their slump from their last three games and finally get back into the winning track. I'm taking the Cardinals tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 903 St Louis Cardinals ML (w/ A. Wainwright) @ -105 / 1.95 on 5 Dimes
