This is another pretty god offer in my opinion, well for me the cardinals are a clear favourite in here, not only because their pitcher is going true a much better period but also because of the way they are batting right now.

It’s true the cardinals have a larger injury list, but the differences are so big in every other aspect of the match I cannot stop myself from doing this pick.

Let see the pitchers then, J Pineiro is going to be the staring pitcher from the cardinal, he has a season ERA of 3.75, and has made a last 3 games ERA of 1.77 – he has pitched great in the last 3 games – striking out a lot and showing lot of control, tonight I expect from him the same kind of performance.

Ubaldo Gimenez will be the staring pitcher for the Colorado. He has a season ERA of 5.90 – he has made some very constant bad performances lately – he has a ERA in the last 3 games of 7.43! and have showed some serious lack when we talk about control.

Having in consideration that the cardinal have a better bullpen (4.04 vs 7.65) all things said about the pitching here.

What could save the roockies could be their offense but there things here don’t change much, because also here the cardinals are doing so much better lately – they are hitting 0.293 against the 0.242 from Colorado. They have some batters that are really hot right now, and they have so much confidence now, so the option for me is clear – the Cardinals.
