In this match I think everything is going to place the cardinals side, they are hitting better, better bullpen, and they are going to present a bitter pitcher, so why not this bet?

The cardinals will send in B Looper, who has a season ERA of 3.86, having some problems lately, mainly because ha had a terrible game 3 games ago against the giants. But besides that he has been pitching very good, showing a lot of potential and allowing few hits.

M Redman will be the pitcher for the roockies, he has a season ERA of 7.42 – a terrible season so far – he has been allowing a lot of hits, and comes from a terrible game facing a great team. Never the less it should be hard on him, and tonight he is going to be facing anotherr team that is hitting big at the moment.

Once both pitchers will stay in 4 or 5 innings, the bullpen will represent here a big aspect – and the difference is really very big, the cardinals have a huge advantage here (3.67 vs 7.36), so that can be a key aspect of this pick.

Another important factor will be the hitting, and again the cardinals have an edge here – they are batting better 0.301 vs 0.260, and they are even batting better against left handed pitchers (0.282) so, they have really everything to win big here. So for me the handicap here ( a big one) is a real charmer.
