The Cardinals desperately want to get Adam Wainwright to a 200th career win, even if it's ultimately an arbitrary barrier. After an IL stint, he hasn't been terrible in his two starts. The Rockies hit a pitiful .239/.301/.375 on the road, so there's a chance for a quality outing here for the wily veteran. The Cardinals offense is better at home and shouldn't have any trouble with Chris Flexen and his 8.08 ERA. He got shelled by the A's last time out. I like a Cardinals blowout, so we'll play the run line (-1.5, +100).
Feel like I've been spot on this week but a few bad breaks has stopped it from being truly great as All-Star closers Devin Williams and Carlos Estevez have both blown saves against lesser teams. So irritating when one clown who can't throw strikes ruins your whole night ... anyways. Such is MLB. No motivation here for either team, but the Cardinals are still leaps and bounds a more talented roster. Adam Wainwright's final season has not gone well on the mound, but he's a true pro and a borderline HOF so I tend to think he closes moderately strong ahead of retirement. The Rockies are quite terrible so this price seems cheap. I can't wait for lineups most Friday nights but recommend it. Not sure it will matter here much, though.
