The Cardinals are facing a Rockies team that has been shaky at best on the road. Look for the Cardinals to be able to come into this game and really control the game, but also take advantage of a younger pitcher who has not thrown a lot on the year so far in Gonzalez. Final Score, Saint Louis Cardinals win 7-3.
