Justin Verlander (7-2,3.02 ERA) the Tigers starting pitcher tonight against the St.Louis Cardinals continues to dominate opposing batting orders. That is evident by a perfect 7-0 record and 1.10 ERA in his past nine starts. The former Old Dominion College standout, has also been lights out in his career vs the National League garnering a 8-0 life time mark along with a 2.30 ERA over 10 career starts in Interleague action. While I’m not betting on his team to win, I am counting on more of the same top tier work in this spot vs a Cardinals team that is averaging just 4.2 RPG in Busch Stadium this season via a batting average that nears the Mendoza line.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright (6-4,3.49 ERA) is also in top form, registering a extremely solid 2.68 ERA in his last 6 overall starts and has pitched his best at home this season, recording a stingy 2.74 ERA in 7 appearances . He should have another viable outing vs a Tigers team that has struggled against right handers this season (.250 BA).

Considering the pitching mathup it will be an easy decision to recommend a wager on the under.
