This is the first game of a doubleheader after Wednesday's game was rained out. Toronto edged St. Louis, 6-5, on Tuesday.

I can see a combined 11 runs coming again especially with Matt Latos one of the scheduled pitchers for this day game. Latos has a 5.76 career ERA versus St. Louis - and that's before he became a washed-up journeyman expected to depart from Toronto's startihng rotation following this game with the imminent returns of J.A. Happ and Aaron Sanchez.

Latos made his season debut in his last outing this past Friday and gave up four runs in five-plus innings. This was against the Angels at pitcher-friendly Angels Stadium. Latos pitched even worse than his box score getting a couple of long ball outs that could have been homers at other ballparks.

The Cardinals have got their bats going averaging 5.2 runs during their last five games.

The Blue Jays broke out of their scoring slump averaging five runs during their last five games. They draw Carlos Martinez in this matchup. Martinez hasn't been sharp since opening day having had three consecutive disappointing starts.

Martinez couldn't reach the seventh inning during any of his last three starts. During this three-game span, he's allowed 17 hits and 11 walks in 15 1/3 innings. Martinez has been merely average at home career-wise, too, with a 15-14 record and 3.77 ERA.

The Cardinals' bullpen ranks 25th in ERA and St. Louis leads the league in errors.
