5* NO BRAINER on Cardinals +100 The pitching matchup is the whole ballgame here, and the market isn't respecting it. Cardinals starter Hunter Dobbins carries a 3.60 ERA and 3.70 xERA. Phillies starter Andrew Painter is sitting at a 6.48 ERA with a .299 opponent batting average and .498 slugging against. Dobbins is trending the right way. His last two outings: 6 IP and 0 ER at the Angels on 7/22, then 6.1 IP and 2 ER at the Yankees on 8/4. That's a guy in rhythm heading into a home start. The pushback on Painter is fair. He's given up just 3 earned runs across his last two starts, and his 5.15 xERA suggests his season line is a touch inflated. I get it. But 5.15 is still bad, the sample of 339 plate appearances tells a clearer story than 10 innings, and a .373 wOBA allowed doesn't get fixed in two weeks. The top of Philadelphia's order is dangerous, but Painter still has to keep them off the bases. The Phillies bullpen is another leverage point. They burned through 12 pitchers in back-to-back extra-inning games over the weekend. Any early Painter trouble puts a taxed pen on the mound in a hitter-friendly Busch spot with 84 degrees and a south breeze. St. Louis is 59-59 and gets the better arm, the fresher pen behind him, and the home dirt. Getting them at +100 is the value. You don't need a fancy read on this one. It's the price that's wrong. I like the Cardinals |
