Despite his somewhat lofty ERA, you just can’t dog Kyle Lohse’s 10-2 record as he pitches for a long term deal. He’s taken the ball at every call and has generally given the Cards a chance to win which is just about all you can ask for. Lohse is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his last couple and 2-0 (2.73) LT against the Bucs. Zach Duke is 0-1 with 6.57 ERA in L3 and while he does pitch somewhat better at home, figures to be hit hard after allowing 28 baserunners in his last 12 2/3 innings work. The Red Birds are 6-1 in L7 as a road fave of less than a quarter and rate solid nod here. Take St Louis.
