This series versus the “weakest-division-NL-Central” St. Louis Cardinals is uber important. But with a Royals god-awful offense that hits better with nobody on-base (.249) than the bases loaded (.167), figure that one out, we pray that Pujols hits solo shots and not with the bases juiced. Though it seems that the Royals have a slight advantage with tonight’s game. MLB.com Gameday Preview is quoted as saying,
“Wellemeyer’s struggles remain a puzzling problem for the Cardinals…”
The reason this is an advantage for the Royals is because they know he sucks (ie. 2007) and the Cards still think he’s going to throw under a 4.00 ERA. But he’ll probably throw a non-hitter now that I said that.
