The St. Louis Cardinals are coming off consecutive games to the Detroit Tigers. Quite surprising considering they have plenty to play for, sitting second in the National League wild-card standings, and I expect a fired up Cards team to bounce back and win easily here on Sunday.

St. Louis right-hander John Gant (6-5, 3.19 ERA) has allowed two or fewer earned runs in his last six outings and he should have no trouble to outperform Detroit right-hander Michael Fulmer (3-10, 4.57) who will make his fourth start since returning from an oblique strain. Detroit has lost 11 of his last 12 starts dating to late May and he's 1-6 home at Comerica Park on the season.

Cardinals are 12-4 in their last 16 road games and 18-6 in their last 24 games following a loss.
