On Friday the MLB road warrior system play is on the St. Louis Cardinals. Game 951 at 7:05 eastern. The Cardinals fit a road warrior system that plays on road favorites off a road favored win by 5 or more runs and had 10+ hits, vs an opponent off a home win. These road teams have won 19 of 23 since 2004. If the home team also had 10 or more hits, the system whittles down to 11-1. The Cardinals have a solid pitching edge with Wacha over Liriano here tonight as Wacha has a stellar 1.90 road era and has allowed just 1 earned runs in 2 starts spanning 14 innings vs the Pirates. Liriano for the Pirates lost here early last month and was hit had allowing 4 earned runs in 6 innings in a game where he had base runners on every inning and escaped with several solid defensive plays. Look for the Cardinals to take the opener here tonight.
