St. Louis has struggled against left-handed pitchers (.222 BA/.288 OBP/.336 SLG/.624 OPS) and I don't envision that changing this afternoon in their first time seeing Mitchell Parker. The Cardinals don't hit much (.224/.294/.346/.640) in day games, either.

Washington is off to a hot start to July (.278/.355/.440/.795) and slashes a respectable .243/.314/.378/.692 at Nationals Park. Opponents are hitting .260 in Mikolas' road starts and .276 in his day game appearances. The Nationals get my call here on Monday afternoon.
