MLB picks - Philadelphia Phillies vs Saint Louis Cardinals 8/1/08 prediction and pick
Friday night will matchup the Philadelphia Phillies (59-49) with the St. Louis Cardinals (61-50) at Busch Stadium. Both teams, fighting for a playoff spot, surprisingly did not make any moves at this years trade deadline, opting to remain with what they have down the stretch. The Phillies currently lead the NL East, and the Cardinals are tied with the Brewers for the lone National League Wild Card spot. This will surely be a game/series to watch closely. Game time is scheduled for 8:15 PM Eastern time in St. Louis.
Consider these criteria when determining a pick between the Phillies and the Cardinals:
- Cole Hamels (9-6, 3.27) will take the mound for the Phillies
- Kyle Lohse (12-3, 3.68) will pitch for St. Louis
