Money Line: -144.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Win
The St Louis Cardinals own MLB's best overall record (77-43) and are coming off 2 bad losses.
The Cards' lead over the Pirates is now down to 3 1/2 games in the NL Central, as they look to avoid a three-game sweep by the Padres at Petco.
STL Michael Wacha gets the nod on Sunday and he is 14-4 with a 2.85 ERA over 23 starts. The Cards are 18-5 in those starts, giving him MLB's best moneyline mark at plus-$1,088. Wacha's allowed just three ERs over his last four starts, lasting 27 innings (1.00 ERA) while striking out 26 batters. The Cards are 10-2 in his 12 road starts this year. STL got shutout on Saturday and the top of their lineup combined to go 2-21 at the plate. I like the Cards to avoid the sweep on Sunday afternoon and the bats to wake up and get us the win.
