The pitching matchup in the opener will certainly favor the Red Birds, as their ace RHP Chris Carpenter (16-4, 
2.34 ERA) takes on a guy having a pretty good year as well in RHP Aaron Cook (10-6, 4.47 ERA). Thus, the OVER/UNDER for this, MLB Odds: Cardinals vs. Rockies MLB Picks – September 25, 2009 game is set at a total of 8½ runs scored.
For the Rockies, they have chosen to fall into a bit of a funk at the worse possible time. With teams chasing them down for the NL’s Wild Card spot, Colorado is making things interesting by losing 2 consecutive games.
Going into Friday night’s action, their NLWC lead has been trimmed down to 3½ games by the red-hot Atlanta Braves who have won 4 games in a row. Behind the Braves and still within striking distance are the Florida Marlins and the San Francisco Giants, each just 4 games behind now.
The worse part is that the Rockies will likely now have to contend with two of St. Louis’ best pitchers and double-digit game winners in Carpenter and RHP Adam Wainwright (18-8, 2.59) who’ll be starting Saturday’s middle game. "I always like going to that park," Wainwright said. "Even pitching there — I just think it's a neat experience. I liked sitting down in that bullpen when I was in the bullpen. It's like you're in the forest. I always like going there."
