When the Astros play the Cardinals their bats wake up. Cards are a streaky team and their offense looks bland. We'll expect the same in a day game on the road. Astros are 8-2 behind Blanco starts. 6 of those wins covered the RL. Mikolas has given up at least 3 ERs in 5 of his L6 starts. Last start was his longest outing of the season, but he's an older pitcher and that may be a setback. Astros have had success against Mikolas in the past. Mikolas has been awful in day games going 1-4 with a 7.36 ERA. He has been susceptible to the HR during the day giving up 6 of his 10 HRs allowed during the day.
