The San Diego Padres will aim to avoid being swept by the St. Louis Cardinals when they take at Busch Stadium Thursday. That may be easier said than done, as the Padres have lost their past six road games while being outscored 34-16 in that span.
- The Padres are 0-5 in their past five games against the Cardinals.
- The UNDER has hit in 14 of the Cardinals’ past 20 games at home.
- The Cardinals are 12-3 in the past 15 games that Adam Wainwright starts.
The Padres will send Andrew Cashner to the mound in hopes that the righty can shake his poor play on the road. Cashner has a 7.83 ERA while allowing opponents to bat .315 in six road starts this season – including an eight hit, eight runs performance in his last outing away from Petco Park.
After a tough start to the year, we are starting to see the Adam Wainwright we have been accustomed to the past several seasons. Wainwright has a 0.39 ERA through his past three starts while pitching at least seven innings in each of those contests.
