The St. Louis Cardinals (7-7) and Arizona Diamondbacks (6-8) will set up for game two soon on Saturday, April 13 at 8:10 PM ET at Chase Field in St. Phoenix, Arizona. Both teams are favored with a moneyline at -110, showing this could be a close game.

The Cardinals are 2-3 in their last five games and are coming off of a successful 9-6 finish to game one of this series. Can this recent win push them in the right direction? They had had inconsistent performances as of late.

They will be starting Kyle Gibson (1-1) on the mound for this matchup. He currently has an ERA at 6.23 and a WHIP at 1.08 in 13.0 innings pitched. He will need to be dominant to slow down the Diamondbacks early.

They have had success through Brendan Donovan so far, who leads them with nine RBIs. He also has a batting average at .298, a .414 on base percentage, and a .553 slugging percentage to make him a threat to any team.

The Cardinals are averaging .231 at the plate and are allowing .261 in return. This does not bode well for them if they are trying to keep the Diamondbacks from having great offense.

The Diamondbacks are coming off of a successful series against the Colorado Rockies. However, the Cardinals ended their two-game win streak that the Diamondbacks had accumulated from that series in game one of this series.

Ryne Nelson (0-2) will get the start on the mound for game two and will need to step it up if they want to succeed. He currently has an ERA at 8.22 and a WHIP at 1.83 in the 7.2 innings he has pitched.

If their pitching is not cutting it, their offense will need to take over. They are led by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. 15 RBIs and a batting average at .304. He also has an on base percentage at .361 and a .518 slugging percentage.

As mentioned, their offense might need to over and happens to be good with a betting at .265 to start. They are allowing their opponents to average .256 at the plate, which does not give them much breathing room to operate.

MyBookie has the odds for this upcoming showdown, with both teams having a good chance at success. The Cardinals had an offensive outburst to push them over the top in game one and will likely need another surge to do it again.

The Diamondbacks have a handful of better stats in comparison and are playing at home, which should offer a slight edge. Look for the Diamondbacks to get back on track in game two.
