St Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates (MLB) - Apr 23, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Play: Total: 8.5/-114 Under

Todd Wellemeyer the Cardinals starting pitcher here tonight against the Pirates , has been a great addition to his teams pitching rotation this season, garnering a solid 2-0 record along with a stable 3.24 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. The righty has struck out an average of one hitter per inning this season. He will face a Pirates offense that owns a lowly .232 overall BA. His pitching opponent from the Pirates , Ian Snell, is 2-1 on the season, along with a 4.07 ERA , and in his last start looked to have corrected some early season control problems. He will pitch to a Cards lineup that is hitting just .252 in road games this season. We have two capable hurlers on the hill tonight, and two inconsistent offenses facing them , which bodes well for a low scoring game in the PNC Park tonight. Final notes & Key Trends: Under is 4-0 in Snells last 4 starts vs. National League Central . Under is 4-0 in Wellemeyers last 4 starts vs. National League Central. Snells team is 13-3 UNDER when h e starts against division opponents, with the average combined score of those tilts ringing in at 7.3 RPG !
