Cardinals have not lost 4 in a row at home all year and I don't think it will start today with their ace on the mound in Chris Carpenter. We backed him in his last start as our last max play and I"m confident doing it again. He's got a 2.61 ERA at home a 0.75 ERA in his last 3. He has extra motivation like he did in last start as he gave up 7 ER on the road to the Reds he won at home pitching 8 shutout innings. Today he faces a Dbacks team that roughed him up for 8 ER on the road and now he's back home to prove the same thing. His previous 10 starts vs. the Dbacks he has a 2.58 ERA. Cardinals continue to slug and Daniel Hudson has not been the same pitcher on the road as he is at home with a 4.58 ERA on the road.
Twins will take this game as they dominate the White Sox. Buehrle has been great of late, but he faces a hot Twins team which in his last 3 home starts against them has a 7.70 ERA. Brian Duensing has been hot and has been successful against the White Sox.. Twins roll again.
