Event date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 at 9:05 AM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: St. Louis Cardinals @ 1.43 (William Hill)
Tip Result:: Win

The 32-57 Houston Astros are 2-8 in their last 10, 3-9 in their last 12 road games, 2-11 in their last 13 against St. Louis and 0-5 in their last 5 road games against St. Louis. Starting pitcher Bud Norris has a 3.22 ERA with a 6-7 W/L record.

The 53-34 St. Louis Cardinals are 4-1 in their last 5. Starting pitcher Adam Wainwright has a 2.36 ERA with an 11-5 W/L record. At home he has a 1.84 ERA for the season. Against Houston he has an imposing 12-1 career W/L record. He has given up a total of 4 earned runs in his last 5 starts against Houston.

Both Norris and Wainwright are handy pitchers, but with St. Louis boasting a 45-22 record against right-handed pitching, Wainwright should get the better run support.
