The St. Louis Cardinals came away with a 5-3 win over the Giants in game one of their series. They got a huge outing from Kwang Hyun Kim, who went seven shutout innings, with just three hits. They will look to keep the momentum going by sending Adam Wainwright to the mound. He has posted a 6-5 record this season with a 3.49 ERA and 96 strikeouts. In his career against the Giants, he is 7-7 with a 3.09 ERA and 76 strikeouts.

The San Francisco Giants couldn't get their offense going until late in the game and ran out of innings. Kevin Gausman pitched well in the loss, allowing just two runs on three hits while striking out eight in seven innings. They will turn to Johnny Cueto for today's start. He has posted a 6-4 record with a 4.00 ERA and 58 strikeouts this season. Against the Cardinals, he is 7-9 with a 3.92 ERA and 84 strikeouts.

St. Louis is 7-19 in their last 26 road games and 7-20 in their last 27 games as an underdog. San Francisco is 8-2 in their last 10 games against the NL Central and 40-19 in their last 59 home games. The Cards were able to slow down the Giant's offense but that is not something you can count on every day. Johnny Cueto is pitched better at home this season and he will be facing one of the bottom offenses in the league.

Play on San Francisco.
