With the St. Louis Cardinals struggling both on offense and defense, Chris Carpenter’s turn in the rotation couldn’t come at a much better time.Chris Carpenter has never lost vs Arizona in 9 career starts..Chris Carpenter is 4-0
with an ERA of 2.09 in 9 career starts vs the D-Backs.Matt Holliday is also
really lacking in the power (offense) department,so ya can't always depend on Pujos to carry the team. Cardinals may win today but with the offensive woes for the Cards,i expect CC to keep the D-Backs offense somewhat in-check & the Cards to put up small numbers as well & that this contest total is the best way to go!!
