My take on tonights game. (im a homer of course)
St Louis is 31-27 at home, 4th in runs, 3rd in their batting average, 3rd on base and 5th in slugging%. Colorado is 28-34 on the road, 12th in ba, 8th in runs, 7th on base and 11th slugging percentage. Colorado will be starting Esmil Rogers on the mound. Even with his 6-1 record, he has an ironically bad ERA. He posts a 5.85 ERA, 32 strikeouts and a 1.73 WHIP. St Louis will be starting Edwin Jackson, who is less than spectacular as well. Posting a 4.07 ERA, 8-8 record, 109 strikeouts, 1.45 WHIP. Two pretty high-base giving pitchers. look for a high scoring affair. I think the Cardinals will pull this out though, with the slight batting and pitching advantage. Colorado has also lost 17 straight on sundays.
