Prospectus Hit List: NL - Tapping Into The V-Energy

2. Cardinals (Down)

Mostly All 'Wright: After yielding just four runs in his previous four starts—including a two-hit shutout of the Brewers earlier in the week—Adam Wainwright is dusted for four by the Dodgers as the Cardinals are swept in L.A. for the first time since 1988. The two runs Wainwright allows in the first inning matches his year-to-date total in that initial frame. He still leads the league in strikeouts, is sixth in Support Neutral Winning Percentage (.660) and ninth in ERA (2.30). Improbably enough, rookie Jaime Garcia still outranks him in those latter two categories, running third with a .663 SNWP and second with a 1.47 ERA.
