Let's keep this mini streak going, and now Mike has jumped into the mix picking a winner again! Let's keep this up! Today's Free Pick is Atlanta Braves and St Louis Cardinals under 7.5 runs @ -125 (1.80).
This will be an unbelievably good pitching match between the Cardinals Adam Wainwright and the Braves Jair Jurrjens. Both have fantastic records with low ERA's, but unfortunately for the Cardinals, Adam has struggled on the road going 6-8, which isn't bad. However, Jair Jurrjens is hitting his stride after being sidelined at the beginning of the year with a hamstring injury. Jair has only lost once in 10 trips to the mound, which is an unbelievable streak of hotness for him. Where Jair is excelling, Adam has slowed down significantly going 4-5 in his last 10 starts after holding a record of 13-5 to start the season. One is hot, the other is cooling significantly. BUT, (a huge BUT), it's not really Wainwright that's struggling because even though he's 6-8 on the road and 4-5 recently, he holds a ridiculous 2.81 ERA since the all star break and a 2.24 ERA before the intermission. So perhaps it's the Cardinals hitters that have been struggling. Good for this pick, because St Louis has really been cool lately and with Jair on the mound on the other side, I don't see that button changing to hot. Take the under in this low scoring pitchers dual.
