Game Preview
The St. Louis Cardinals battle the San Diego Padres in the second of a three-game series today. The Cardinals are coming off a very disappointing win in the opener, losing 5-0 to the San Diego Padres. The Cardinals lead the season series 3-1.
The Cardinals have an eight-game lead ahead of the Brewers and can clinch the division this week. They have not lost a series all month and are 6-4 in their last ten games overall after recording a series win against the Reds last weekend. St. Louis has won four consecutive road series.
Tommy Edman continues to dazzle at the plate, sporting a remarkable .390 average on the month. The 27-year-old second baseman has 13 homers with 56 RBIs and a .738 OPS. Edman is only 2 for 10 with one RBI against the Padres this season.
On the other side, San Diego was able to collect three big wins in four meetings in Arizona last weekend and now feature a 2.5-game cushion in the NL Wildcard. They should be able to qualify for the postseason considering they only have three road games remaining but still have to play the Dodgers.
Jake Cronenworth has been quiet at the dish recently, collecting eight RBIs and a .695 OPS on the month. The 28-year-old second baseman is having a productive season, bashing 16 homers with 75 RBIs and a .727 OPS. Cronenworth is 3 for 11 with zero RBIs against the Cardinals.
The Padres will have Blake Snell take the mound in this game. Snell was outstanding in his previous start, limiting the Diamondbacks to only one run in seven innings, and was awarded the win to bring his record to 7-9.
The Cardinals will have Miles Mikolas on the hill for today’s game. Mikolas was decent in his previous start, conceding three runs including two home runs in six innings against the Reds, and was charged with the loss to dip to 11-12.
