MLB - 901 St Louis Cardinals @ 902 Washington Nationals
(Starting Pitchers: A. Wainwright vs R. Detwiler)
Adam Wainwright had his third win of the season at Philadelphia last Thursday, where he allowed nine hits, while striking out four batters. After a shaky first outing of the season, Wainwright has been great on their following three outings, with just 5 runs allowed and a 22/0 K/BB ratio on 23 innings! His numbers say it all: 2.48 ERA, 1.09 ERA and 1.96 xFIP!
On the other hand, Ross Detwiler has been good on this early season as well, but helped with some luck, as he had an extremely low .250 BABIP! He may have a 0.90 ERA, but his advanced stats are telling another story with 3.32 FIP and 3.93 xFIP! Detwilder is contact pitcher and this Cardinals's lineup is too tough for him to get away with another nice outing tonight, especially when St Louis's roster is hitting so well against him: .320 BA and .913 OPS! Therefore, I expect Wainwright to dominate tonight, while Detwiler has some problems, so I'll be taking the Cardinals tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 901 St Louis Cardinals ML (w/ A. Wainwright) @ -118 / 1.85 on Bovada
