Erick Fedde (8-9, 3.38 ERA) vs. Austin Gomber (5-11, 4.67 ERA)
The Cardinals will put Erick Fedde on the mound who has a decent season with an earned run average (ERA) of 3 38 and a WHIP of 1 17 in 170 1 innings of work. Given Fedde’s command and ability to keep the ball in the park (only 20 homers allowed), he may be seen as a key figure at Coors, one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks. Such quality gives a pitcher more resources in pumpkin season, which is essential when dealing with the Rockies who need no second chances to make one’s mistakes counter.
Austin Gomber, who pitches for the Rockies, had the contrary statistics with an ERA of 4.67 and WHIP of 1.31. He has a tendency to be hit hard, giving up 30 home runs this season, which could prove rather frustrating against a Cardinals offense who knows how to take advantage of such deficiencies. Gomber will need to keep the game on a tight leash and refrain from those dreadful innings that have been debilitating for Colorado this season.

Given the Cardinals’ fabulous overall record as a team and the pitching duels, the betting odds are a bit in favor of the Cardinals. The over/under is at 10 runs, which gives an impression that quite several runs will be scored as it is common at Coors Field.
