St. Louis at San Diego
Tony LaRussa looked to have made the right call in holding Chris Carpenter until Game One of the NLDS and Cardinal fans are hoping for the same good fortune in LaRussa's decision to go with Jeff Weaver today over Jeff Suppan. The decision was based in large part on Weaver's strong numbers on the road (4-1, 4.03). Weaver also put together a solid September by winning three of four decisions with the only loss coming 1-0 against Pittsburgh. He'll be facing David Wells, who has been at his best in the postseason (10-4, 3.15). But how effective the 43-year-old Wells will be after dealing with a bad ankle and a case of gout is a good question. With a win under their belt, the Cards look like another solid underdog play in this one according to Dunkel, which has St. Louis favored by 1. Dunkel Pick: St. Louis (+1 1/2). Here are all of today's games.
