We are going to side with Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty in this matchup. Flaherty has had some ups and downs through his first 4 starts. He struggled a bit with his command early, walking 13 hitters in his first 2 starts. However, Flaherty’s walk rate has gone down in his last 2 starts. The young righty has yet to allow more than 5 hits in any of his 4 starts. Hitters are not squaring up on Flaherty often, it's the walks that are hurting his production. For example, Flaherty allowed 0 hits in 5 innings against one of the leagues best offenses in the Blue Jays. On the other side of this matchup, Mariners starter Chris Flexen has not been very good this season. The Mariners have lost all 4 of his starts. What’s more concerning is Flexen’s hard hit rate. He’s allowed 16 hits and 12 earned runs in his last 8.1 innings. Flexen’s strikeout metrics are down as well. Simply put, we forecast the Cardinals taking advantage of this matchup today.
