The St. Louis Cardinals are at home to take on the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies will send José Quintana to the mound to face off against Kyle Freeland. Quintana is 4-5 this season with a 3.37 ERA(2.25 in 2 starts with the Cards) while Freeland is 7-8, with a 4.84 ERA (6.00 since June) and a 1.41 WHIP. He has given up five or more runs in three of his last six starts. Quintana has allowed two or fewer runs in his last four starts. The Rockies are 8-16 since the break and 18-36 this season when playing on the road. The Cards are 9-3 in August, 31-21 at home, and have taken over first place in the NL Central. Quintana has looked good in his two starts with the Cards and that should continue over in this one. The Cards beat the Rockies and Freeland 9-5 in Colorado last week and the Cards should have no problems scoring at home.

Play on St. Louis on the run-line. This is a 6*play.
