It’s hard to believe that the Cardinals return home to St. Louis down 0-2 after throwing Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright – combined +10.3 WAR this year – in the first two games. Their playoff hopes fall on the right shoulder of Joel Piniero (15-12, 3.49), who enjoyed the best year of his career thanks to a new approach centered around groundballs (60.5 GB%) and not walking guys (1.14 BB/9). The Dodgers will counter with the Vicente Padilla (12-6, 4.46), who’s a certifiable headcase. First pitch is scheduled for 6:07pm ET, and TBS once again will broadcast it.
Oh, and the Phillies-Rockies game tonight was already postponed due to snow in Colorado. They’re going to make this one up on Monday.
