This is an 8* SITUATIONAL ASSASSIN on the St. Louis Cardinals.
We think this sets up as a natural letdown spot for the surging Rangers, who would once again somehow find a way to win in yesterday's 4-3 victory. Conversely, the Cardinals will be the hungrier team without question after letting that one slip away and also after going 0-4 through the first four games of a five-game homestand (St. Louis has actually coughed up eighth and ninth innings leads to cost it two victories in that span). The Cards hand the ball to Mike Leake (5-4, 4.08 ERA) who is 5-1 in his last six decisions, most recently he went seven innings, giving up two runs while striking out six in an 8-3 victory over Pittsburgh. Leake is in complete control right now as he hasn't walked a batter in his last two starts. The visitors counter with Martin Perez (6-4, 3.38) who snapped a 14-game winless streak on the road with a 10-6 victory over the A's on Tuesday, giving up four runs off nine hits over seven innings. Yesterday's victory gave the Rangers nine consecutive series wins, a franchise record and pushed their AL West lead to seven games over the Mariners. We think Perez and his extremely contented team finally have a letdown here. Lay the price with the focused CARDINALS.
