Probable Pitchers

Merrill Kelly (1-1, 1.69) with start for the Diamondbacks and face Miles Mikolas (1-0, 1.21). Both will be working on four days of rest.

Kelly vs Mikolas

Merrill Kelly
VS
Miles Mikolas
1-1 Record 1-0
1.69 ERA 1.21
3.47 xERA 2.60
1.27 WHIP 0.94
3.14 SO/W 4.50

Kelly took his first loss of the season Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers at home, giving up three runs on seven hits in six innings with four strikeouts and two walks.

Kelly is 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA in two career starts against the Cardinals. In his lone appearance at Busch Stadium, Kelly allowed four runs (one earned) in five innings of a loss.

This will be Kelly’s second road start of the season. He got his lone win on April 20 at Washington when he limited the Nationals to one run in five innings. Kelly’s only daytime start resulted in a no-decision on April 13 against the visiting Houston Astros when he allowed one run in 5.1 innings.

The Cardinals’ Nolan Arenado is 3 for 7 against Kelly with a double and a home run.

Mikolas took a tough no-decision Monday against the New York Mets as he pitched seven shutout innings. He gave up four hits and one walk and struck out five.

Mikolas has a win in his only career decision against the Diamondbacks to go with a 2.61 ERA in three games (one start). Fitting perhaps that a guy who once ate a lizard does well against the Snakes.

In two home starts this season, Mikolas is 0-0 with a 1.69 ERA. He is 1-0 with a 3.48 in three starts during the day.

Diamondbacks vs Cardinals Betting Outlook

Daulton Varsho had two hits, including an RBI double, on Friday night in the Diamondbacks’ victory.

Paul Goldschmidt homered but the Cardinals were held to just five hits. The slugging first baseman is listed at +7500 in the latest NL MVP odds.

Diamondbacks closer Mark Melancon was placed on the injured list before the game for undisclosed reasons. That often means that a player has entered the COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

This is the first of two series between the team this season. Last year, the Cardinals won six of seven games against the Diamondbacks.

Diamondbacks vs Cardinals Prediction

This is an interesting matchup between two pitchers off to fine starts. However, the peripheral stats and advanced metrics give Mikolas the edge.
