Year in and year out, the St. Louis Cardinals always put a good product on the field, and tonight they will be at SunTrust Park to face the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the NLDS. Miles Mikolas will get the nod for the Cards and southpaw Dallas Keuchel for the Braves. Mikolas’ numbers were not great in the regular season, with a record of 9-14 and a 4.16 ERA, but he has pitched well in his last 3 turns, going 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA, and let’s not forget, last year he was tied for the most wins in the National League, with 18. Keuchel has been mediocre, with a record of 8-8, a 3.75 ERA, and he has been getting lit up over his last 3 turns, going 0-3 with a bloated ERA of 6.19. St. Louis is 9-3 in their last 12 trips to Atlanta and 5-0 in their last 5 road games against a left-handed starter. Consider the Cardinals in an upset.
