Burnett pitched 2 times @ STL this year and allowed 11 hits + 4 BB's in 9 innings (1.7 WHIP) with an ERA of 7.0
Burnett pitched 3 times vs STL at home and allowed 8 hits + 4 BB's in 21 innings (0.6 WHIP) with an ERA of 0.9
What does this mean for today's game? Maybe nothing. But Burnett is worse against lefties (3.8 xFIP, still a very good number) than righties (2.2 xFIP, ranked #1 in the league) and STL will have 5 lefties in the lineup today. Something to consider here.. !!!
