I don't like Lance Lynn. As think my fellow White Sox fans can attest, he'd be good for a few innings and then the next time through the lineup allow a pair of three-run bombs. No one bothered to awaken Tony La Russa to pull him. Yeah I'm not bitter. My point here is that while Lynn is rarely trustworthy, when he's facing a Pale Hose lineup in which the bottom four is Rex Grossman (I know it's Robbie but may as well be Rex), Korey Lee, Paul DeJong and Braden Shewmake. I mean, come on. I could slip and fall at Publix later and be owed millions and would not even call the free law firm of Grossman, Lee, DeJong and Shewmake.

I like Lance Lynn going against his former team and the start he is off to with STL. Cardinals lineup is still an issue but I see Erik Fedde as a prime candidate for regression here and don't believe he can continue to post these kinds of numbers, Career ERA over 5, in his age 31 season, I just don't think this is sustainable. In a year filled with historically awful baseball teams, the Pale Hose are the worst. One great series vs TB and everything else has been pathetic. Shutout again on Friday and could happen again here

Credit to Erick Fedde who has pitched well to start the season, however I like fading him in this spot coming off a quality start where Fedde went 8.1 IP, accrued 9 Ks/0 BBs, and threw a whopping 108 pitches (the most since June of 2022). Fedde gets to face a mediocre Cardinals lineup, however this looks like a matchup where they can have success.
