Things have not come easy for the St. Louis Cardinals, despite the fact that they have gotten some great pitching of late. They are but five games over .500, and 21-16 at home for the season. Jaime Garcia is 3-0 on the season, but his ERA is 3.78, just a tick better than Phillies starter A.J. Burnett. Burnett has pitched to success in his career vs. St. Louis where he owns a winning career mark of 8-6. Garcia did not make it to the fourth inning against the Phillies earlier this season, allowing 8 runs on 9 hits, and has a losing career record against them. The Phillies are a .500 team on the road, and overall have grabbed the money in five straight when posted as a dog. The Cards are a woeful 1-4 in Garcia's last five turns as heavy chalk from -151 to -200. Make the play on Philadelphia.
