St. Louis at Philadelphia

The St. Louis Cardinals have been masterful on the season, as they own the best record in baseball at 43-23. All has not been so perfect, however, as the St. Louis bats have really been quiet. The Cards' pitching has carried the team this season, and the offense has been really horrible over the last 12 games as they have not topped the four-run mark in any of them. That margin will be tested as they send Tyler Lyons to the mound. Lyons won for the first time in over two years his last time out, but came out of the game with an ERA of 5.00. Phillippe Aumont owned a 2.55 ERA in AAA, and is off a game where he allowed 0 runs, and should be in good shape here vs. a lineup that is struggling. The cardinals are 0-6 in Lyons' last six road starts, as well as 2-11 in his last 13 starts to a total of 7 to 8.5. Philly has been tough at home vs. a team with a winning road record as they are 8-2 in their last 10 against them. The Cardinals' great pitching, and sluggish hitting have them at 37-18-2 to the UNDER in their last 57, as well as 20-6-1 to the UNDER in their last 27 vs. a right hander. The Phillies have played to a 7-1 mark to the UNDER in their last eight vs. a left hander. Play on Philadelphia and the UNDER.
