Jeff Locke is a near auto-fade as long as the price isn't sky high.

The combination of backing Adam Wainwright at home while going against Locke puts me on St. Louis.

The Cardinals have started to play better winning six of their last eight. They have a winning record versus southpaw starters. Locke, a lefty, has yet to win in six starts this season. He has been terrible with a 5.52 ERA. Locker has a 4.98 career ERA versus the Cardinals in 11 appearances, including 10 starts.

Wainwright almost always is good at home. That's certainly been the case this season where he's 5-1 with a 2.64 ERA in eight starts at Busch Stadium. Wainwright has a career 2.37 ERA against the Marlins, too.

St. Louis has won 71 percent of Wainwright's past 51 home starts.
