Cardinals Set to Shatter Prospect’s Dreams in Stunning Debut Showdown

The Cardinals are in a little bit of a slump right now with a 1-4 mark after their past five games, including being swept by the Blue Jays. Now they are on the road, having to face a division rival. Neither of these teams are amazing, but they are both above .500. The Cardinals have a losing record on the road for the year, but they aren’t too bad. For the season, the Cardinals are hitting .257 which is one of the better offenses in baseball. They don’t have a ton of homers which means they are playing station-to-station, and typically I find that more reliable than home run hitting. Today they send out Sonny Gray, the Ace of their staff, to try and stop this losing streak. Gray has put together a nice campaign with a 7-1 record, 3.35 ERA, and a 1.13 WHIP. He has struggled on the road compared to at home, but he does have five more home starts than road starts. Also, those stats are a bit inflated because he allowed seven runs in one start against the Phillies. He has made one start against Milwaukee this season, in St. Louis, and allowed three runs on seven hits over six innings. Overall, the Brewers are hitting .250 against him.
