vThe Cardinals are playing great at home, but the Cardinals are also putting Flaherty on the mound who has managed to pitch decent for the Cardinals and has struck out quite a few batters as well. Look for the pitching of Flaherty to do decent on the day, but also for the Rockies and Lambert to have some problems containing the Cardinals offense in this game. Final Score, Saint Louis Cardinals win 5-4.
