Diamondbacks at Cardinals 4/5/2018
For the Cards right-hander, Adam Wainwright will make his first start of the season. Wainwright has strong numbers against Arizona historically, but he has only faced them twice in the last three years. Against the Diamondbacks projected line-up tonight he hasn't had a ton of success with six batters having a career batting average over .300 versus him, and he may not be at his best with this his first start since last August. Either pitcher could get lit up here making a play on the total line the way to go.
Arizona will send out lefty Robbie Ray to face St. Louis in their home opener. Ray hasn't seemed right since mid-September last season failing to record a quality start in his previous five starts and was atrocious in his opener allowing six earned runs over five innings.
