St. Louis at Baltimore

The St. Louis Cardinals fortified their rotation by acquiring Jon Lackey from the Boston Red Sox prior to the trade deadline. Lackey has had a very solid campaign where he owns a 12-7 record backed by a 3.55 ERA. Lackey has allowed 3 runs or fewer in 14 of his last 18 starts, and has done so in each of his last four starts. The Cardinals will face Ubaldo Jimenez, who has not had a great year, but St. Louis has had a punchless attack all season, especially on the road where they generate 3.5 runs per game. They have been further inhibited on the road when facing a right-hander, where 8 of their last 10 have failed to get to the total. The Orioles own a 12-3 mark to the UNDER in their last 15 vs. a winning team, and are 21-8-1 to the UNDER in their last 30 at home. Don't expect this one to get there, so make play the UNDER.
