St. Louis has the best record in baseball, but the Cardinals aren't playing particularly well right now going 2-4 in their last six games. They have bullpen fatigue issues and a huge starting pitching disadvantage going against David Price with Tyler Lyons.



Price is one of the premier pitchers in baseball and is going on two extra days rest. Price is 2-0 with a 1.71 ERA in three road starts this season. The Cardinals have never faced him.



Lyons is making his third start of the season. He has close to a 5.00 ERA and is 2-8 lifetime in the majors. He's only in the rotation right now because of an injury to Adam Wainwright and figures to go back to the minors, or long relief, when Jaime Garcia is physically ready to pitch again for the Cardinals, which could be very soon.



The Tigers are swinging hot bats scoring 23 runs in their last two games with 37 hits. Miguel Cabrera usually is deadly in day games batting .471 with eight homers and 25 RBIs in 18 day games this season.
