At 7:40 ET, my Round-Tripper is on St. Louis on the run-line. Off a 9-3 loss at division leader Milwaukee yesterday and now 5.5 games back for the final NL Wildcard spot, I expect St. Louis to rally for a win Tuesday. Or, at the very least, keep this one competitive enough to escape with the run-line "cover." St. Louis had won four of five before yesterday's setback. Milwaukee has a nine-game lead in the division and has now won six of its last seven. The Brewers are playing like a team possessed right now, but the Cards' season is on life support basically at this point. Winning has a tendency to lead to complacency and losing has a way of leading to motivation. Steven Matz is scheduled to get the call for the visitors. Matz will make his first big league start since May, having just been re-activated from the 60-day IL. With a successful re-hab under his belt, while he's in there, I think the veteran will be able to match the Brewers' Aaron Civale, who seems destined for regression after going seven scoreless vs. the Giants on Thursday. With a rejuvenated Matz matching his counterpart inning for inning, I'm going to play the visitors on the runline.
