A pair of Cy Young Award winners square off in a crucial contest in the National League playoff race at Busch Stadium.

San Francisco Giants at St. Louis Cardinals

San Francisco captured a 6-3 road victory over the Cardinals in the opening game of this three-game series in St. Louis.  The Giants are now 9-9 in August after completing a 20-8 July, but the club is happy with its recent results overall.  In 83 games of scoring three-or-more runs in a game, the team has produced a 62-20 record (.756), which is the second-best winning percentage in the majors in that particular situation.  The club is 3-4 in its current 12-game stretch in which they play against opponents in the heart of the playoff picture.  San Francisco has posted a 32-31 record on the road this season, which is the fourth-best mark in the National League behind San Diego, Cincinnati and Florida.  The team has compiled a 5-7 record as a road underdog of +125 to +150 this season (-30) and the total is 8-4 O/U in those contests.  It’s also important to state the Giants are 12-7 when playing on Saturday (+600).

The Cardinals have the best home pitcher in baseball going for them in the finale of this short two-game set at Busch Stadium.

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals

Milwaukee picked up a 3-2 road victory in the first of a two-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.  Third baseman Casey McGehee was the different in last night’s contest, hitting a two-run homer off Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia.  McGehee is hitting .411 with five homers and 19 RBIs in his last 14 games.  “He’s on fire,” manager Ken Macha said.  “I told him I didn’t want to stand next to him because I was afraid of spontaneous combustion.”  Each of the last four Brewers games have been decided by just a single run, as they are 2-2 in that span and 20-14 overall in one-run contests.  Since the start of the 2008 season, Milwaukee has the second-highest winning percentage at Busch Stadium of any visiting National League team (17-9, .654).    The Brewers are 0-3 as a road underdog of +200 to +225 this season and 1-6 in this situation the last three years (-390).

Both pitchers find themselves in a situation to dominate opposing hitters in the second game of this three-game series at Busch Stadium.

Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals

Chicago has lost 14 of its last 16 games including a 6-3 defeat in the first game of this three-game series against its main NL Central rival.  “We just didn’t hold the game in check,” manager Lou Piniella said.  The Cubs are now also 1-7 in their 17-game stretch in which they face teams that either rank first or second in their division.  The club is now 12-26 in series openers this season. Offensively, the team is awaiting the return of 3B Aramis Ramirez, who was withheld from Friday’s lineup with a sore left oblique muscle.  Chicago has been a road underdog of +200 to +225 just once this year (-100) and three times over the last three seasons (-300).  The team is a disappointing 26-33 in day games in 2010 (-1,550) and the total stands at 29-27 O/U in those contests.  The Cubs average 4.5 runs and hit for a combined .258 average under the sun.

The Cardinals have dominated visiting foes at Busch Stadium in series immediately following the All-Star break.

Los Angeles Dodgers at St. Louis Cardinals

Los Angeles received disappointing back-to-back efforts by its top two pitchers in dropping the first two games of this four-game set in St. Louis.  Thursday starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw managed to go just 4.1 innings and right-hander Chad Billingsley followed with just four innings.  “Billingsley just had a bad game,” manager Joe Torre said.  “He had no explanation and Kershaw didn’t either.”  The offense produced 13 hits in the 8-4 losing effort last night, but stranded 12 runners.  The Dodgers have still won six of their last eight games against the Cardinals, including a three-game sweep in Los Angeles on June 7-9.  The club won its only game of the year as a road underdog of +150 to +175 and stands at 7-5 in this spot the last three years (+610).

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals

Milwaukee put its second-ranked offense on display on Saturday, racking up 19 hits and 12 runs in a blowout win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.  The run total was the most the Brewers’ offense has tallied since June 14.  “Days like this are few and far between for a pitcher of his caliber,” said All-Star outfielder Ryan Braun about putting up such a total against Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter.  The Brewers added two home runs to its NL-leading total of 101, which is third in the majors behind Toronto and Boston.  The Brewers are now 20-22 on the road (+200) and have gone 4-8-1 in series play away from Miller Park.  Milwaukee’s offense has been sparked from the top this season, with Rickie Weeks ranking tops in the majors in home runs (14) and RBI (49) for a leadoff batter.
