Oddsmakers like the Cardinals’ chances to pick up a victory in Game 4, installing them as -115 home favorites to top the Tigers. The game’s total was set at 7.5 runs.
Suppan is 1-1 for St. Louis in the 2006 postseason, giving up four earned runs on 11 hits over 19.1 innings of work. In his most recent outing, against the Mets in the NLCS, Suppan allowed just one run on two hits over seven innings.
Detroit’s Game 4 starter will be Jeremy Bonderman. The righthander has pitched twice during the playoffs, earned one win and one no-decision. Last time out, against the A’s, Bonderman gave up three runs over 6 2-3 innings.
Regardless of Wednesday’s outcome, Game 5 of the series will be played in St. Louis on Thursday night. If required, both Game 6 and Game 7 will take place back in Detroit on the weekend.
