This season the Cardinals are 6-2 at home and the Phillies are 2-7 on the road.
In Game 2 of this 4-game series yesterday the Cardinals beat the Phillies 11-5.
The Cardinals recently suffered a big blow since Ace Adam Wainwright is lost for the season with an injury. That loss is even bigger now since the St. Louis offense has not been great so far on the season only ranking 21st in runs scored.

Martinez has been a bright spot in the rotation and he has mainly been used out of the bullpen in the last 2 seasons. He has yet to lose this season and only has an ERA of 1.35.
The Cardinals are 8-2 in Martinez’s last 10 starts and 5-0 in his last 5 home starts.
Not much has gone right for the Phillies this season, but they are 5-5 in their last 10 games. Their offense has been terrible and their pitching ranks in the middle of the pack ranking 17th in team ERA.
Aaron Harang has been a solid pick up for the Phillies and he has an ERA of only 1.37. He was stellar in his last outing facing his former team in the Braves going 8 innings and not giving up any earned runs on only 2 hits in a 1-0 win. He has pitched into at least the 6th inning in all 4 starts this season and is holding opponents to a .164 average.
Harang has struggled mightily against the Cardinals going 0-6 in his last 8 starts facing them.
