St. Louis Cardinals at New York Mets

St. Louis is set to play the second game of this three game series this evening, as part of a six-game, seven-day road trip.  The Cardinals fell 8-2 in defeat on Tuesday evening at Citi Field and the team is now 8-4 since the All-Star break.  The club is batting .294 and averaging 6.0 runs per game in its 55 wins, while hitting just .223 and scoring 2.5 runs a game in 45 losses.  Surprisingly, the team picked up a loss with starting pitcher Adam Wainwright on the hill, as they are 40-23 in games involving the right-hander, Chris Carpenter and tonight’s starter.  It was the fifth time in 11 road starts this season that the Cards have scored no runs or one run while Wainwright was in the game.  The lineup went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 runners on the night.  St. Louis has posted a 2-3 mark as a road underdog of +100 to +125 this season (-90) and an even 29-29 the last three years (+250).

Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals

Milwaukee is playing the sixth game of its current seven-game road trip to Florida (1-3) and St. Louis (0-2).  The Brewers placed themselves in an early hole by allowing four runs in the first inning in a 5-4 loss to the Cardinals, as the team has allowed 49 runs in the first frame this season – the most of any inning.  “There’s been a bunch of games when we’ve been behind,” Brewers manager Ken Macha said.  “I’ve got no answers for that.”  The team is getting use to the idea of scheduling left-handed starters in 2010, with Sunday’s matchup representing the 30th game they’ve scheduled a southpaw against the opposition.  This represents a challenge against a Cardinals’ club that is 9-6 versus lefties this season (+80), but the total is 5-9-1 O/U in those games.
