Injuries have played a big part in their season, helping to keep St. Louis four games behind the Cubs and Brewers in the NL Central. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/fantasy\/baseball\/news\/cardinals-paul-dejong-hitting-off-tee-saturday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">However, outside of <strong>Paul<\/strong> <strong>DeJong<\/strong><\/a> and a few relief pitchers, the Cardinals are as healthy as they\u2019ve been all season.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Phillies,<\/strong> on the other hand, are starting to trend upward again. They have won three in a row and six of their last eight games. Philadelphia has now climbed within 3.5 games of the Braves for the top spot in the NL East. They are also tied with the Nationals for the second wild-card spot.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"still-learning\">Still Learning<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Cardinals<\/strong> will send <strong>Luke<\/strong> <strong>Weaver<\/strong> to the mound Tuesday night. The 24-year old is in the midst of his first full season in the big leagues. He\u2019s flashed plenty of promise but has struggled to find consistency. He\u2019s currently going through a rough stretch, as opposing hitters are batting .317 against him during the month of June. He\u2019s given up eight runs on 16 hits over his last two outings. Weaver is also struggling to go beyond five innings, which is a problem for the short-handed <strong>St<\/strong>. <strong>Louis<\/strong> bullpen.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for <strong>Weaver<\/strong>, the Phillies don\u2019t have an overly intimidating lineup. Only two of their regulars have an OPS over .800 this season. In fact, <strong>Weaver<\/strong> gave up one run over seven innings against <strong>Philadelphia<\/strong> last month. However, both Odubel Herrera and Rhys Hoskins have started to heat up, as both have three home runs over the past week. Scott Kingery and Nick Williams have also started to pick it up amidst the team\u2019s three straight wins.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-beat-goes-on\">The Beat Goes on<\/h2>\n<p>The Phillies will look to <strong>Vince<\/strong> <strong>Velasquez<\/strong> to push their winning streak to four games. Outside of one disastrous outing against the Brewers in which he allowed 10 runs in 3.2 innings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/philadelphia\/phillies\/vince-velasquez-flirts-no-hitter-phillies-claim-series-win-over-rockies-mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Velasquez has been excellent since the calendar flipped to May. He\u2019s allowed two runs or less in six of his last eight starts.<\/a> That stretch includes a start against the Cardinals in which he tossed 6.1 scoreless innings.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the <strong>Cardinals<\/strong> struggling to get much production outside the quartet of Marcell Ozuna, Jose Martinez, Matt Carpenter, and <strong>Tommy<\/strong> <strong>Pham<\/strong>, although the recent return of Yadier Molina has helped. However, the St. Louis lineup should be manageable for Velasquez, as the St. Louis roster is just 11 for 48 (.229) against him.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cant-stop-momentum\">Can\u2019t Stop Momentum<\/h2>\n<p>Everything is going right for the Phillies over the past week, while the <strong>Cardinals<\/strong> are undoubtedly scuffling. That momentum will be tough to stop for both sides, especially with Weaver\u2019s performance being uneven lately and Velasquez pitching so well for the last six weeks. The Phillies will feel great about themselves after Monday\u2019s extra-inning win, and it\u2019ll carry over into Tuesday. <strong>Bet on Philadelphia -116 over St. Louis.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Phillies will host the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday in National League Baseball action.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
