Atlanta at St. Louis

The St. Louis Cardinals are starting to see their bats come to life. Last night the Cardinals' attack generated 13 hits, and they have now averaged 5 runs per game over their last five contests. The Braves are in a tough scheduling spot, and are not playing well at 5-11 over their last 16 games. They are on a 1-5 run vs. the Giants and Cards, and on deck are the World Champion Boston Red Sox. Shelby Miller has been brilliant of late with four straight in the win column, while pitching to an ERA of 2.86. The Braves' struggles have been multiplied on the road where they are a woeful 1-7 in their last eight. The Cardinals have been lethal vs. right-handed pitching where they are 53-17 in their last 70. With the bats heating up, make the play on St. Louis.
