Here come the Cards. They have won 4 in a row and 13 of 17. 12 of those 13 wins have come by 2 runs or more.

San Francisco’s Barry Zito is struggling. The Giants have lost each of his last 3 starts, during which he has posted an ERA of 7.56. They have lost his last 2 starts by 10 and 8 runs, respectively. Zito’s poor career starts versus the Cardinals can’t be ignored either. He’s 1-6 (1-7 on the money line) with an ERA of 5.23 in 8 career starts against them. Each of those 7 defeats came by at least 2 runs.

The Cards are in better hands with Lance Lynn, who is 13-4 with an ERA of 3.40. They have won 4 of his last 5 starts with those 4 wins coming by an average of 3.75 runs. He has allowed 2 earned runs or fewer in 4 of his last 5 starts. Bet St. Louis on the run line.
