Cardinals RL (+150)
Gallardo and Carpenter are familiar pitchers to both clubs, as they met in the closing months 6 times cumulatively. Early flyer on this game, Cardinals are hitting well, Carpenter has returned to his playoff form and will be pitching at home where he is 1.1 ERA with a .90 WHIP in his last two games there against MIL, not reading much into his ERA- this decision is based upon his last outing against Philly where he dominated the Philly lineup in a 3-hit shutout. I'm not calling another game like that, but Carpenter has been pounding the strike zone, and not walking many batters.
Pujols is coming off a ridiculous 5 RBI game against Shaun Marcum, and I think he will fare well again against Gallardo who likes to throw that inside cutter, Pujols is 8-11 with 7RBIs and 8 runs against Gallardo- I imagine they will gameplan around Pujols for tomorrow’s game, but that left field wall looks good 2morrow in St. Louis. Also David Freese has been tremendous at home and look for Lance Berkman to get some timely hits against Gallardo whom he has decent numbers against Gallardo in his last 3 games (4-12 w/ 2 RBIs w/ RISP). The Run Line has hit 3 out of the last 4 outings with Gallardo's starts against STL.
Carry over from last nights under parlay, so I advise a small unit bet.
