#957/958 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 9 Runs – Atlanta Braves @ St Louis Cardinals, Wednesday at 8:15 PM ET – Yesterday the Braves jumped on Jon Lester for 6 runs in the first two innings and then incredibly not another run was scored in the game until the bottom of the 9th. Though the game stayed under as a result, look for tonight's to make up for it as both starting pitchers are likely to get tagged. JA Happ gets his first start for the Cardinals and it is unlikely the change of scenery to St Louis will be a miracle cure for the lefty. Happ just has not had it this season. He has a 6.77 ERA on the season and an 11.25 ERA his last 3 starts overall. The over is 13-6 in his 19 starts this season. Happ has a WHIP over 2.00 in his last 3 starts. The Braves also have a struggling hurler getting the call in this one. Drew Smyly only gave up 3 earned runs but 9 hits in just four innings in his most recent start. The over is 9-2 in his 11 road starts this season. Atlanta has scored 5 or more runs in 4 of last 5 games. The Cardinals had averaged 5 runs last 6 games before being shut down last night. The bats should wake up tonight. This total is in the 9 range and our computer math model shows this one getting into a range of about a dozen runs scored with each club enjoying success at the plate and having a solid shot of getting to 5 runs apiece which, of course, would mean at least 11 runs (6-5 final at a minimum) in this one.
