Cardinals +112 5* MLB POD
We all saw how the Red Sox offense struggled after some time off when they were waiting for the Tigers as Anibal Sanchez was masterful, but struggled with control leaving in the 6th inning with a no hitter but 6 walks. Tigers still won that game and now Adam Wainwright comes in with a better curve and far better control. Red Sox have no faced Wainwright and he's certainly the better pitcher on the mound. The hitters that have faced Wainwright have not hit him in 65 AB they have a .169 average and a .598 OPS. Wainwright is on extra rest compared with Lester and posts a 1.61 ERA this season when he's on 5 or more days of rest with all 12 going at least 7 innings with an average of 8 innings pitched.

Jon Lester has had a good post season and he's certainly capable of throwing another great game here tonight. However, he's on shorter rest although still 5+ days. He also had 12 starts this year on 5 or more days rest and the results are not nearly as good. half of those starts did not go 7 innings and he posted a 3.24 ERA with an average 6.1 innings pitched. I favor the Cardinals arms and bullpen over the Red Sox who seem to be relying on Koji Uehara too much because the rest of the bullpen is a bit sketchy.

This is the World Series and in this type of game it comes down to who can make the place in the clutch. I think the Cardinals getting Allen Craig back as a DH is going to help tremendously. We so Johny Peralta do it all post season after sitting out and I think Craig can do it too. Craig was one of the best hitters with 2 outs and with RISP. Speaking of which Cardinals own a significant advantage in OPS, average and on base percentage in the playoffs and regular season with runners on and runners in scoring position with 2 outs. To put it in perspective the Cardinals had a .821 OPS and a .305 average with RISP and 2 outs during the season compared with the Red Sox .747, and .249. I see a lot more weak links and strike out batter in the Sox line up and I think the Cardinals have a bigger edge.
