St. Louis expects to build on last game's 5-1 win against the Padres on Thursday and they entrust Jeff Weaver to get the job done when they battle the Padres at PETCO Park.
The Padres will try and even the series and send veteran David Wells to the mound, he was 1-2 with the Padres, after a trade from Boston earlier in the season.
Oddsmakers like the Padres in this one, opening the line at 145 in favor of San Diego. The total, which is 73-78-12 to the OVER in Padres games and 79-78-5 in Cardinals games, opened at 8.5.
Albert Pujols belted a two-run homer in the series opener and Jeff Weaver takes his 5-4 record into Game 2 for St. Louis.
The Cardinals come off a 5-1 win against the Padres, a game where they were underdogs. The game went under the closing total of 7.
The Padres staff is stingy with baserunners, allowing fewer men to reach base than just about every team in the league. St. Louis needs to get to Wells and into the bullpen to make things happen today.
