The St. Louis leg of the I-70 series will both start and end today as the Royals and Cardinals prepare to play a day-night doubleheader after yesterday’s game was postponed due to weather. With both teams six games above .500, each will look to establish dominance over the Show Me state.
Game one will pit Alec Marsh against Andre Pallante. Marsh has been a perfectly capable fifth starter for most of the season, but he has struggled some lately with a 5.81 ERA in his last ten starts. He’s been prone to the long ball, with nine homers allowed in that stretch.
