Corey's Free Pick
St. Louis had to claw their way through a weekend with Pittsburgh, and their set with Arizona has a chance to treat them kinder. The Cardinals have found success at the plate, and Jack Flaherty has a good chance to build on his latest outing by containing the sporadic production from the DBacks here. Back St. Louis in game one versus Arizona.
