Cardinals @ Braves

Who will WIN this matchup?

St. Louis Cardinals (36-35)

@ Atlanta Braves (32-36)

 

Starting Pitchers:

Kim (STL): 1-4; 3.72 ERA

Smyly (ATL) 3-3; 5.63 ERA

 

Current odds:

St. Louis Cardinals: (+110)

Atlanta Braves: (-120)

 

• This is the second game of a double header – game will therefore be 7 innings. The Cardinals took game 1 earlier this afternoon 9-1.  Starting pitching information for game two is as follows:

• Kim will hope his second go on Sunday Night Baseball will be smoother than the first, when he was chased after allowing four runs (one earned) in 3 1/3 innings on May 16. His last time out on Tuesday, he tossed a quality start despite allowing a career-high five walks.
• Smyly completed five innings for the first time in his past three starts and exited Sunday’s start in Miami without allowing a home run. The long ball has consistently hurt the veteran lefty, who is looking to win consecutive starts for the second time this year.
