The PLAY: 1H St. Louis Cardinals -0.5 (+100) B Garrett (LHP), D Hudson (RHP) Must Start
Former first-round draft pick Braxton Garrett has done some nice things in his first four MLB starts, but it feels like the 24-year-old is due for a "welcome to the big leagues" kind of night in St. Louis. The Cardinals have crushed left-hand pitching all season, with a .266 batting average (No. 4 in MLB), .355 on-base percentage (No. 6), .772 OPS (No. 6) and a 120 wRC+ (No. 4). St Louis will load the lineup with right-hand bats tonight. Garrett has faced 60 right-hand batters so far in his brief career, and he's allowed a 1.83 WHIP in those spots. Any kind of mistake against Goldschmidt, Arenado, Yepez and Pujols will likely result in the Cardinals putting some cooked numbers on the Busch Stadium scoreboard.
Dakota Hudson should enjoy some home cookin' tonight. He's 3-1 with a 2.67 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP at home this season compared to 2-3 with a 4.57 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP on the road. His strikeout rate and walk rate are both considerably better at home this season. Miami was shut out last night against Adam Wainwright, and they'll see a lot of the same stuff from Hudson tonight: No hard fast balls, forcing ground balls and working the corners. If they couldn't get anything going against Wainwright last night, we don't see much changing tonight. We would feel comfortable backing St Louis on the moneyline in either the full game or first five, but in an effort to mitigate some juice, we'll opt for the first five runline (-0.5) which is widely available at even-money at the time of posting.
