"#THATSAWINNER" - Cardinals
Adam Wainwright, who is 6-7 with a 3.15 ERA and 1.21 WHIP, will be on the mound Wednesday for St. Louis. Wainwright has been great recently, especially in his last start, where he tossed nine innings and allowed just two runs. Even at 40 years old, the Cardinals righty is proving he has a lot left in the tank.
On Wednesday, Wainwright will have a tough matchup against a Dodgers club that is second in the MLB in runs per game. Look for Wainwright to at least keep his club in the game at home on Wednesday.
Tony Gonsolin, who is 11-0 with a 1.62 ERA through 16 starts, will be on the hill Wednesday for Los Angeles. Gonsolin was named to the first All-Star Game of his career this past weekend, and he's been amazing all year long.
The righty has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his 16 outings, and he'll be up against an average Cardinals lineup. St. Louis does manage to make a lot of contact, but they'll need to make their hits count versus Gonsolin and the Dodgers.
