The Cardinals host the Phillies in a 3 game series. Cardinals currently sit atop the NL Central Division a game 1/2 in front of the Pittsburgh Pirates. They look like they are cruising towards a post season. The Phillies are sitting second in the NL East a full 7 games behind Atlanta but in their own minds probably believe they can still catch up. They are in the hunt for the wild card also. A good series against the Cardinals will go a long way for the Phillies.
Two rookies also get the start in tonights game. The Phillies' Jonathan Pettibone has never faced the Cardinals just like Miller has never faced the phillies. The Cardinals' Shelby Miller has been given a long break as the Cardinals are playing it safe making sure the young pitcher is fresh heading into the post season.
The Cardinals come into this game as strong favorites @ $1.41 sportsbet, but The phillies are undervalued here. They have a very good record winning 6 of 9 at St Louis. With a rested rookie pitcher in Miller I believe the Phillies have a good shot tonight in an upset.
