Game 1: Lackey vs. Cashner

Lackey last 3 starts: 20.1 innings pitched, 1-1 record with a 3.54 ERA.
Cashner last 3 starts: 17.1 innings pitched, 0-2 with a 4.67 ERA.

Only hitter with more than 10 ABs against Lackey in the last 5 years is Melvin Upton and he only has 11 with a .273 average, 1 homerun and 2 RBIs

Nobody with more than 10 ABs in the Cardinals lineup against Cashner, but in small samples Carp is .500 against him Heyward .333 and Yadi .500

I expect the Cards to get to the pen early (4th-5th inning) and Lackey to toss 7 innings of 2 run ball. Cards win 6-3

Game 2: CMart vs. Ian Kennedy

CMart last 3 starts: 18 innings pitched, 1-1 record witha 4.00 ERA.
Kennedy last 3 starts: 18.2 innings pitched, 1-2 record with a 2.89 ERA.

Nobody in the Pads lineup with more than 10 at bats against CMart but a lot of guys over .500 in small samples.

Yadi is the only guy with some success against Kennedy in the last 5 years.

Cards drop this one 5-1
