WASHINGTON AT ST. LOUIS.
I believe this will be a game decided by the offense's and bullpen's. This will be the season debut for Gonzales who has been battling injuries. He went 4-2 with a 4.15 era in 10 Major league appearances in 2014. In 17 Minor League starts, Goznales was a combined 1-4 with a 4.42 ERA. But, when this kid is right he is very effective. In his last two starts Ross has allowed 1 earned run in 13 innings with 11 strikeouts. The red flag for me on Ross is his home/away splits. Home he is 4-2 with a 1.91 era and 0.82 whip. Away he is 1-3 with a 4.97 era and 1.24 whip. The Cardinal offense has come alive in August and they have the better bullpen. I think this one goes over and at this price I'm giving the home team a shot.
