Philadelphia at St. Louis

The St. Louis Cardinals have not performed as well as expected this season. They have had great pitching, but the bats have been mostly silenced on the season. They will send their ace Adam Wainwright to the mound today, but he may be over-shadowed by a hot Phillies team that has a winning road record. The Phillies have won five straight games, and 9 of their last 11. That hot team will send baseball's hottest pitcher to the mound in a rejuvenated Cole Hamels. Hamels has not allowed a run in 23.2 innings, while the Phillies' offense has produced 30 runs in their last five games. The Phillies are riding to perfection as a dog where they have cashed seven straight, and Hamels has been unhittable. Back the hot road dog in this one.
