Texas -1½ over St. Louis

2:15 PM EST. The Cardinals were active at the trade deadline, picking up Erik Feede from the White Sox, although it’s not certain how he’ll be used in the Red Birds' pitching ranks. As for tonight, St. Louis has called up Michael McGreevy (RHP - STL) to make his first career start. McGreevy is a former first-round pick, who is 5-7 at Triple-A Memphis, where he has 96 Ks to 36 BBs in 109.1 IP. Despite his first-round pedigree, McGreevy is ranked as the 15th-best prospect in the St. Louis system and the seventh-best pitcher.

Andrew Heaney (LHP - TEX) had a rough start to the season, but he’s pitched much better of late and has lowered his ERA to 3.77, which is backed by an xERA of 3.89 through 20 starts. Heaney is coming off a tough outing versus the Blue Jays, where he allowed four runs over five innings; however, he did strike out four. That was the first time since April 25 that Heaney was tagged with more than three earned runs in a start. Prior to that start versus Toronto, Heaney posted a 2.81 ERA over 15 starts, with 79 Ks in 77 IP in those appearances. Heaney is just 4-10 on the season, but he’s pitched much better than his record would indicate, and he can’t be a coin flip versus a first-time starter and because of that, we are going to go for the kill and play Texas to win -1½.
