St. Louis Cardinals Insights

  Matthew Liberatore’s four-seamer usage has risen by 6.4% from last season to this one (29% to 35.4%) .

  Alec Burleson has taken a step back with his Barrel% lately; his 10.8% seasonal rate has fallen off to 0% over the last 7 days.

• St. Louis Cardinals – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the St. Louis Cardinals’ bullpen projects as the 8th-best among all MLB teams.
