AAA's 3-GM ALL EARLY MLB REPORT!
(MLB) San Diego vs. St. Louis,
Money Line: -200.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 7* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the St. Louis Cardinals.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, I definitely think that home side should be a bigger one in this particular matchup. The visitors hand the ball to confirmed "gas can" Odrisamer Despaigne (3-6, 4.94 ERA) who gave up five runs in a 6-4 loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday. Despaigne has struggled in this spot all year long and owns a horrible 1-3, 5.66 ERA on the road. His counterpart Carlos Martinez has been fantastic over the first half and most recently allowed one run off two hits over six innings in a victory over the Cubs on Sunday. And note that this is a position in which Martinez has excelled in all year, 4-1 with a 2.88 home ERA and a lights-out 3-0 with a tiny 1.39 ERA in all "day" games. I think the writing is on the wall and a lop-sided blowout is in the cards, lay the price with confidence on the CARDINALS.
