No Eric Hosmer in the lineup for the Friars, which is one less worry for Adam Wainwright (5-4, 3.12 ERA), who is 6-0 with a 1.73 ERA in 10 career regular season games (8 starts) vs. San Diego at Busch Stadium, never allowing a home run in 58.2 innings. No batter is hotter than the Cards' Paul Goldschmidt, who is looking to become the first Cardinal with .400+ BA and 10+ HR in any calendar month since Stan Musial in September 1953. San Diego pitcher Blake Snell (0-2, 6.00) hasn't been great since returning from injury.

Blake Snell has been decent to start his season, but he is much worse on the road and he will be facing the best team in the league in wOBA against lefties. He also won’t make it too deep into the game and the Padres bullpen has been susceptible lately. The Cardinals top bullpen arms threw a decent number of pitches yesterday so I am a little worried about their bullpen. However, the Padres struggle against righties and Adam Wainwright is much better at home. I like the price on the Cards.
