The Philadelphia Phillies look to rebound from a 13-5 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday when they host St. Louis and Mark Mulder.
The Cardinals start Mark Mulder, 0-0, 0 ERA. His last trip was a loss, a 5-1 team loss against the Astros, when he threw 4 2/3 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits.
Philadelphia brings a 0-1 overall mark (0-0 in the division) into this game versus a St. Louis team carrying a 1-0 record.
The Cardinals know Philadelphia will be looking to prove oddsmakers, who made them home underdogs, made a mistake in this one. Philadelphia is 0-1, while the Cardinals are 1-0. The total opened at 9.5.
Charlie Manuel's team was busy last game losing to St. Louis 13-5 as a 130 underdogs. The 18 runs sent that game over the total of 8.5.
You can usually count on Philadelphia to get men on base as they rank top three in the league with 14 hits per game on the season. St. Louis's pitchers need to keep this group in check.
Some trends to consider:
St. Louis is 1-4-0 SU in its last 5 games after scoring more than 9 runs
St. Louis is 2-4-0 OU in its last 6 games
St. Louis is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games away against Philadelphia
St. Louis is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games against Philadelphia
Philadelphia is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games at home against St. Louis
