Shane’s Free Pick

Matz has had issues this season but in his last start against the Cubs he looked good giving up only one run. The Diamondbacks bats are going to struggle again here, and that is going to be the difference here. Look for the Cardinals to get to six or seven runs here, and that will be enough to get the job done. This is one of my favorite plays on the board.
