KEY GAME INFORMATION
COLORADO: HITTING: This offense still has trouble scoring outside of Coors Field, posting the second-fewest road runs in the majors (3.65 per game). SS TROY TULOWITZKI doesn't need the thin air though, posting an .881 OPS on the road. He led Colorado with a .302 BA, 30 HR, 105 RBI. OF CARLOS GONZALEZ was bothered by wrist and back injuries last year, but still managed to smack 26 homers with 92 RBI and 92 runs. OF DEXTER FOWLER will bat first or second after a strong .363 OBP. He could score 100 runs if he improved his base stealing (12 SB, 9 CS). OF MICHAEL CUDDYER gets the Coors Field Bump, while TYLER COLVIN settles into the 4th-OF role. Colorado has question marks with its corner infielders. 1B TODD HELTON is 38 with a bad back, and mediocre 3B CHRIS NELSON will start until top prospect NOLAN ARENADO is ready for the big leagues. 2B MARCO SCUTARO carries a louder stick than most two-baggers and C RAMON HERNANDEZ (.788 OPS) is an upgrade over the departed Chris Iannetta.
STARTING PITCHING: There are plenty of question marks in Colorado's rotation with Ubaldo Jimenez pitching in the AL and two of its top three starters coming off major injuries. JORGE DE LA ROSA had Tommy John surgery and won't likely return to a big-league mound until June. De La Rosa had a 1.19 WHIP and 52 strikeouts in 59 innings before his injury. JHOULYS CHACIN will be counted on as the rotation's ace and he certainly has the physical tools and array of pitches to live up to this billing if he can trim his 87 walks in 194 innings. Former Baltimore 'ace' JEREMY GUTRHIE threw for 200+ innings in each of his past three seasons, but he's also served up 86 gopher balls in this span. That's not a good sign of things to come in the thin air. JUAN NICASIO took a line drive off the head and broke his C-1 vertebrae in August, but the team amazingly expects him to ready when the season begins. The 25-year-old has great command for such a young hurler. GUILLERMO MOSCOCO fared pretty well as a starter with the A's last year (.209 Opp. BA), but his 4.70 road ERA nearly doubled his 2.42 ERA in Oakland . Lefty DREW POMERANZ, 23, has a wealthy array of pitches and performed admirably in three of his four starts after being called up last season.
RELIEF PITCHING: Although he was the team's main set-up man last year, RAFAEL BETANCOURT becomes the Rockies closer with Huston Street out of the picture. After struggling at Coors Field in 2010 (4.99 ERA, 7 HR), he thrived in the thin air last year with a 1.93 ERA, and just 1 HR allowed in 32.2 innings. But he turns 37 in April and is one of the riskier saves men with little closing experience in his career. MATT BELISLE figures to be next in line for saves, notching 70 K and 16 BB at Coors Field since 2010. MATT REYNOLDS is the top lefty in the pen, but his 2011 season was nothing to write home about (4.09 ERA, 10 HR allowed in 50.2 IP).
ST LOUIS: HITTING: Alienate and trade your talented young centerfielder for bullpen scraps and a middling, impending free-agent starter. Justify your ludicrous pitching changes by blaming crowd noise and your innocent bullpen coach'and you too could win a World Series! This was Tony La Russa baseball. But he's gone now, as is the all-world Albert Pujols. SS RAFAEL FURCAL liked his short stint in the Show Me State enough to sign up for more. OF CARLOS BELTRAN will hit second after an impressive 2011 campaign during which he produced solid numbers in pitchers' parks amidst weak lineups. 2Bs TYLER GREENE and DANIEL DESCALSO are the latest plucky 'gamer' to play infield at Busch. Resuscitated slugger 1B LANCE BERKMAN shifts to a much more suitable defensive position. OF MATT HOLLIDAY's OPS remains as strong as ever. 3B DAVID FREESE will never have to buy a drink in Missouri again after his postseason heroics. C YADIER MOLINA is a defensive whiz behind the plate and an underrated hitter. OFs ALLEN CRAIG and JON JAY are more suited to platoon roles, but Jay will be starting in center on Opening Day.
STARTING PITCHING: His stuff isn't nearly what it used to be, and he's more than earned his reputation within the game as a towering crybaby. But on the mound, CHRIS CARPENTER remains ruthlessly effective when he's healthy. But he'll miss the first couple of months of the 2012 campaign due to shoulder problems. ADAM WAINWRIGHT should be ready to go on Opening Day, and has shown every reason to think he'll be his old brilliant self. JAIME GARCIA cannot sustain a sub-2.00 ERA for a full season. He's a mid-rotation starter, but one of the better ones in all of baseball. Did KYLE LOHSE really register a 1.17 WHIP over an entire season? Really? He just doesn't miss enough bats to keep that going. JAKE WESTBROOK stayed healthy for a full season again, which is a relief given his past dalliances with the DL. He's an innings eater who's capable of another dozen wins. LANCE LYNN gives the Cardinals enviable depth in the rotation. He'll probably slide back to the bullpen once Carpenter returns. Uber-prospect SHELBY MILLER could be a second-half call-up.
RELIEF PITCHING: It doesn't look pretty when JASON MOTTE winds up and delivers a pitch, but in the end, results are results. The converted catcher has finally nailed down the closer role that many predicted would be his a few years ago. The only way he loses it this time is if he hurts himself with that painful delivery. FERNANDO SALAS can more than hold his own if that happens. He'll slot into the eighth-inning role, but he provides more of the pitching depth that is a hallmark of this Cardinals team. KYLE McCLELLAN, like Lynn, is serviceable both in relief or in the rotation. But he's better in the former role.

*Rockies-Cardinals Preview* ===========================

By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer

Colorado (19-15) at St. Louis (21-12), 2:15 p.m. EDT

St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright was off his game the last time out.

The right-hander might not need his best stuff given how the Colorado Rockies are struggling at the plate.

Wainwright and the Cardinals go for their ninth win in 10 games Saturday when this series continues at Busch Stadium.

Looking to rebound from his first defeat of the season, a 2-1 loss to Cincinnati on April 29 that ended his run of four consecutive winning starts, Wainwright (4-2, 2.72 ERA) yielded a season-high five runs and 11 hits while not receiving a decision in last Saturday's 7-6 win at Milwaukee.

He also gave up his first two homers of the season.

"It wouldn't have been any fun for the rest of the team if I'd gone out and dominated and thrown a shutout," Wainwright told the Cardinals' official website.

It wouldn't be a surprise if Wainwright, 3-1 with a 1.64 ERA in five starts against Colorado, flirted with one Saturday.

The Rockies (19-16) have a .103 batting average with three runs during a three-game skid. Colorado had one hit in Friday's 3-0 series-opening loss, a leadoff bloop single by Eric Young. Rookie Shelby Miller set down the next 27 Rockies, including 13 by strikeout.

"I think this is one of those nights where we ran into a pitcher that had everything working," said manager Walt Weiss, whose team has dropped 12 of 18 since a season-best 8-0 run.

Colorado, loser of 14 of 18 to St. Louis, will try to avoid its longest skid of the season with Jhoulys Chacin (3-1, 2.56) on the hill.

The right-hander makes his second appearance following a stint on the disabled list with a lower back strain. In his first start since April 19, Chacin allowed season highs of six runs and eight hits over seven innings in Sunday's 8-3 home loss to Tampa Bay.

"Overall I felt good," said Chacin, who gave up four runs over six innings to lose his only other start against St. Louis (22-12). "... There were a couple of bloopers and some bad luck in the sixth inning. But you just want to go out and get the outs."

That could be tough with the Cardinals getting production throughout their lineup. Carlos Beltran hit his team-leading ninth home run in the opener and is 13 for 36 with three homers in his last eight games.

Yadier Molina is batting .462 while hitting safely in 10 straight, and Jon Jay is 11 for 23 with nine RBIs during a seven-game hitting streak.

The Rockies' lineup could get a boost if Michael Cuddyer, tied for second on the team with seven homers and a career .345 hitter against the Cardinals, returns after missing the last two games with a sore neck.

Cuddyer has two hits in three at-bats off Wainwright, while Carlos Gonzalez is 3 for 7, Todd Helton is 5 for 16 with two doubles and Troy Tulowitzki is 1 for 8.

The Cardinals, who opened a season high-tying 10-game homestand Friday, have won 10 of 12 with the Rockies in town.
