Lance Lynn (14-8 2.78 ERA) goes for the Cardinals tonight and in his last game he was stellar not giving up any earned runs in 7 innings of work in a win over the Cincinnati Reds.
Lynn has gone 6-2 with a 1.73 ERA in 9 starts since getting shelled in a 9-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 28.
The Cardinals are 1-4 in Lynn’s last 5 starts as an underdog.
Lynn is only averaging giving up .40 HR per 9 innings, which ranks 2nd in the NL.
