The St. Louis Cardinals will open a 3-game set against the red hot San Francisco Giants tonight at Oracle Park and if anybody can cool off San Fran it’s the Cardinals. The young upstart, Dakota Hudson, will tap the rubber for St. Louis and he has been on his mark. Hudson is 6-4, with a 3.40 ERA, a 1.51 WHIP, and the Cardinals are 7-1 in his last 8 starts. Drew Pomeranz will get the nod for San Francisco and his numbers are not good. Pomeranz is 2-8, with 6.25 ERA, a 1.72 WHIP, and the Giants are just 2-5 in his last 7 starts. The Cardinals have had the upper hand against the Giants, going 4-1 in their last 5 meetings overall and 7-3 in their last 10 trips to San Francisco.
