Prospectus Hit List: St. Louis Supreme

1. Cardinals (Rising)

Deuces Wild: Two victories each against the Phillies and Astros at home lead the Cardinals to the top of the list. Jake Westbrook (8.0 4 0 0 3 3) continues a roll that has him sporting a 2.78 ERA over his last six starts. Not to be outdone, fellow groundballer Kyle Lohse (8.0 6 1 1 1 3, 8.0 5 1 1 1 5) pitches another a pair of nearly identical gems, bringing his ERA down to 2.06—he has eight quality starts in ten tries. Albert Pujols hits his first home run in a month, a stretch that has his slugging percentage down below his career on-base percentage. Some have identified a possible hamstring injury as the culprit.
