Atlanta at St. Louis

The Atanta Braves were expected to be at the top of the National League this season. The team has not reached that level this season, and pitching and hitting injuries have taken their toll. The injuries continue to mount and this team no longer looks like the team it could have been at the start of the season. The Braves are an ugly 17-20 in their past 37 games. The Cardinals are suddenly three games over .500 thanks to a 9-3 run. The Cardinals are red-hot at home where they are 14-4 in their last 18. In the second-half of today's doubleheader, make the play on St. Louis.
