St. Louis at Philadelphia

He comes off a 4-1 win over Seattle allowing three hits and one run in seven innings. He faces a bad St. Louis offense ranked 28th in runs and 23rd in slugging. Cardinal righty Justin Masterson (5.64 ERA) hasn't thrived with his new team, with a 6.30 ERA for St. Louis in four starts. The Phillies are 5-1 against the National League Central, while the Cardinals are 2-5 in their last seven against the National League East. Play the Phillies.
