Each of these teams should be good to produce at least four runs in a pitching matchup of Trevor Richards versus Daniel Ponce de Leon.

Richards was battered for five runs on 11 hits in just five innings by the Pirates in his last start this past Friday. Richards has a 4.20 night ERA and is 0-2 with a 5.06 ERA in two career starts versus the Cardinals. Richards can't expect much help either from a terrible Marlins bullpen.

Prior to being shut out on Tuesday, the Cardinals were averaging six runs a game during their previous five games.

Ponce de Leon had a 3.90 ERA in 11 starts at Triple-A Memphis before being recently called up to the majors. Ponce de Leon has walked seven in nine innings during his first two starts this season.

Miami has scored at least four runs in three of its past four games.

Weather-wise, the wind is blowing out at eight mph.
