The Astros take on the Cardinals for the final game of this 3 games series. A win today means the Astros have successfully won their 3rd straight series in a row. The Astros send Brandon Backe to the hill to face Kyle Lohse. The main question for me today is... which Backe will we see? Will wee the Backe who went 7 innings against San Diego on Tuesday allowing just 3 runs? Or will we see the Brandon Back who pitched just 3 innings against the Phillies, giving up 6 earned runs? This season Backe's made 5 starts, and 4 of them have been pretty good. If he can continue to pitch well 4 out of 5 starts, then the Astros will have to be happy with those results. Backe has only allowed more than 3 runs in 1 game this season.
Kyle Lohse for the Cardinals has been pretty good this season as well, but is coming off his worst start of the season in which he only went 4 innings and gave up 4 runs.
