1st 5 Innings
1* on ST. LOUIS money-line 1st 5 Innings
I see a very strong SP edge here with Sonny Gray over rookie Tobias Myers. Myers has been hit hard in his 3 starts this season (6.23 .ERA & a 1.32 WHIP) with just a 2/1 K/BB ratio and an alarming 5 HR's allowed in just 13 IP. I also like the fact that the Cardinals are most potent when facing RH pitching. Sonny Gray has been simply dominant. He's made 5 starts this season and sports a filthy 0.89 .ERA and a nasty 0.86 WHIP. He also sports a 7.5/1 K/BB ratio and has yielded just 1 HR. I absolutely expect St. Louis to get to Myers eventually & in turn I expect Gray to have another strong start & limit these, Brewers. The Brewers do have some exposure vs Gray with his days with the Reds. However, only Adames has had good success vs Gray (5-10 with a bomb). I really like St. Louis for the 1st 5 Innings in this spot tonight.
