The Redbirds come off an impressive three game sweep of the Yankees at home, and the Rox come off a disappointing road trip where they lost four of five to the Padres and two of three to Arizona.<\/p>\n Tonight it’s a battle of right-handers as the Cards send Miles Mikolas to the mound, and Colorado will give the ball to Ryan Feltner, first pitch scheduled for 8:40 PM EDT.<\/p>\n Cardinals Cruise Past Brewers in NL Central<\/h3>\nThe Cardinals sit atop the NL Central with a 60-48 record, 2.0 games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers. Miles Mikolas has been the team’s best and most consistent starting pitcher, with an 8-8 record, a 2.92 ERA and an impressive 1.01 WHIP.<\/p>\n St. Louis outlasted the Yankees on Sunday in a 12-9 slugfest, powered by Nolan Arenado and Paul DeJong, with 4 RBIs apiece. They’re a really hot team having won seven in a row and nine of their last 10.<\/p>\n They have the 10th best overall OPS and are 7th in team batting average for the year. The Redbirds are also in the top 10 in staff and bullpen ERA. Not much else needs to be said about this solid baseball team.<\/p>\n Dog Days of Summer in Denver<\/h3>\nThe Rockies are where we thought they’d be at the start of the season: In the basement of the NL West with a 48-63 record, 28.5 games behind the Dodgers. And they’re 5-13 since play resumed after the All-Star break.<\/p>\n Poor starting and relief pitching is the major reason for Colorado’s woes this year, like it is most seasons. But they also haven’t dominated at home as much in 2022, with a home record of just 30-27.<\/p>\n And the power hitting we’re used to seeing from this team hasn’t been there. C.J. Cron and Charlie Blackmon are the top long fly producers, but the rest of the team hasn’t picked up the home run slack. As baseball has now become more of a long ball game, the purple pinstripers need to step up this part of their game (and improve their pitching) to better compete in the NL West.,<\/p>\n Ryan Feltner is in his second year in the big leagues, and has a 1-3 record with a 5.75 ERA and 1,45 WHIP in 40.2 innings this year. The young right hander has been able to avoid walks, but that’s about the only positive thing you can say about his game.<\/p>\n When you look at his Baseball Savant stats, he has a lot of blue (bad) numbers and some red categories. That’s not good going against a hot Cardinals team that crushes right handed pitching, with the 4th best OPS in the last 30 days versus righties.<\/p>\n |
