The Cardinals are in a dog fight right now for the division with the Reds and Pirates, but this team has been here before. With a couple of tough series on the horizon I believe they get it done here this afternoon where they are 30-15 in day games this year. The Rockies send Roy Oswalt to the mound who has been horrible and the veteran leadership of the Cardinals have had success against him. Beltran, Molina, Holliday are a combined 25-77 for a .325 average and there are plenty of other left handed bats in this line up to do damage against Oswalt who has gotten killed allowing a .997 OPS vs. LHB and has a 29.3% line drive percentage on the season. He's relied on getting some swings outside the zone to get by but the Cardinals are not the agressive type and should be able to score a ton of runs on Oswalt. On the flip side MIchael Wacha has been great allowing just 14.5% line drives on the year and a 2.84 tERA. The Cards are 17-6 in the last 23 meetings as well as 38-14 in their last 52 road games as a favorite -151-200. While the Rockies are 19-41 in their last 60 games as an underdog. Pay the juice and take the Cardinals.
