Braves vs Cardinals Free Pick August 11, 2017
The Cardinals might suffer a let down here in Game 1 versus the Braves, as they just swept the Royals in a home and home series. We saw plenty of runs scored in those games, but with a pair of quality pitchers on the mound tonight, a close low scoring game should be expected. Mike Foltynewicz will toe the slab for the Braves, and Atlanta has won nine of his last 10 starts. He’s 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA in five starts since the All Star break, and he’s 10-3 with a 4.01 ERA in 10 starts under the lights this season. The Cardinals hand the ball to veteran Adam Wainwright, who has been far better at home than he has been on the road. The 35 year old is 7-1 with a 3.19 ERA in 10 starts in St. Louis this year. His last home start was a 4-1 win over the Mets, allowing one run on five hits while striking out seven in 6 2/3 innings. Wainwright hasn’t faced Atlanta this year, but he was 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in two starts against the Braves last season. Take ATL. GL, Jesse Schule
