Which Starting Pitcher Will Dominate Tonight’s Mets vs. Cardinals Showdown?
The Cardinals have been pretty much average this season. It is essentially what most expected them to be this season. I know St. Louis has the potential to be good, and they were at least in the playoff race down the stretch last season before fading. The team seemingly has enough offense to compete and they have decent enough arms – they need some sort of miraculous turnaround like the Mets had the year prior. I’m not sure that it is coming for them though. The Mets at least had Francisco Lindor and Alonso leading the way last year. The Cardinals have Nolan Arenado and Willson Contreras, both on the wrong side of the age range. Today they send out another older, but still good guy, Sonny Gray. Gray was very good for the Cardinals last season, and he was profitable for us last year (this year too, so far). He is 3-0 with a 3.60 ERA this season and a 1.00 WHIP. He has posted three straight quality starts, including one against the Mets. The Cardinals lost the game, but Gray went six innings allowing three earned runs, one homer, six hits, and one walk while striking out six hitters.Â
