Game Preview
The New York Yankees take a trip to Busch Stadium to kick off a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals in an effort to bounce back from their recent loss. These two teams reinforced their rosters over the trade deadline and have strong postseason aspirations. The Cardinals are in much need of picking up wins as they sit one game behind the Brewers in the National League Central.
On the other hand, the Bombers are sitting very comfortably at the very top of the American League East standings, holding the best record in the MLB at the moment. Leading the major leagues in home runs, runs per game, and second in overall ERA wasn’t enough for the Yankees as they decided to add depth and defense to their roster in Lou Trivino and Scott Effross along with starter Frankie Montas and center fielder Harrison Bader, former Cardinals player.
Now looking at the Cardinals, they are led by two power right-handed bats in Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado. Goldschmidt leads the team in nearly every offensive category including average, home runs, RBI, OPS and hits. That is the main reason why they didn’t feel the need to bring any offensive reinforcements this time around. They added a pair of left-handers in Jose Quintana from the Pirates and Jordan Montgomery of the Yankees.
Today, Dakota Hudson is making his 20th start of the season for the Cardinals. He is holding a 6-6 record with 4.10 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP over 101 innings pitched while striking out 54. The Yankees will reply back with lefty Nestor Cortes, who is making his 20th start of the season. Cortes carries a 9-3 record with a 2.53 ERA and a 1.02 wHIP over 106.2 innings pitched while striking out 111.
