The St. Louis Cardinals and Washington Nationals have not come out of the gates on fire and both will be looking to get on the right side of the ledger when they start a three-game slate Monday. The Cardinals also have the daunting task of trying to defeat a Nats team they have gone just 2-6 SU against in their past eight meetings.
- Bryce Harper has a career .389 batting average in 18 at-bats against Adam Wainwright.
- The Nationals are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games after a loss.
- The total has gone OVER in the Cardinals' last 3 games against the Nationals.
The Cardinals will turn to Adam Wainwright, who has pitched well against the Nationals in his career. In 14 appearances against the Nats, Wainwright has a 2.99 ERA and has allowed less than one hit per inning. Aledmys Diaz has quickly established himself as the best bat in the Cards lineup, as the youngster is leading the team in batting average, hits, home runs and RBIs.
After a solid first start of the season, Tanner Roark will take the bump for the Nationals on Monday. Roark went 6.0 innings and allowed just three hits and two runs against Miami in his season debut last Wednesday. Daniel Murphy continues to be one of the most consistent bats in baseball, as the second baseman is slashing .480/.500/.720 so far this season.
