The St. Louis Cardinals are on an 8-2 run over their last 10 games, but what they have done on the mound as a collective rotation has been more than impressive. The Cards' staff has allowed a grand total of 24 runs in their last 13 games, or an amazing 1.85 per contest. They have compiled four shutouts in the process, and 9 of their last 13 opponents have scored 2 runs or fewer against them. Shelby Miller has been a big part of that with a complete game shutout, and a 1-run, 4-hit outing his last time out. David Buchanan has yet to prove he is a big league pitcher, owning an ERA of 5.97. He has been awful on the road at 0-2 with an 8.25 ERA . The Phillies are 0-6 in their last six games after allowing 5+ runs in their previous game, and Buchanan just doesn't appear to be the one to stop the bleeding. Go with St. Louis.
