The Cardinals’ offense, through the first 15 games this season was the epitome of touch-and-go. Entering Monday’s series opener against the Nationals, they have scored a respectable 71 runs, but nearly 50 percent of them came across a mere three games. Spin that another way -- St. Louis had scored five or fewer runs 10 times.

Feast or famine? Not when Paul DeJong arrives at Nationals Park hungry.

DeJong unloaded a pair of blasts in the 12-5 drubbing of the Nats, including a grand slam in the fifth inning as part of a five-homer day for the Cards -- their season high as a team. DeJong’s jacks came in concert with back-to-back blasts by Tommy Edman and Paul Goldschmidt, as well as a laser off the bat of Justin Williams, continuing the welcome pattern of run support for Jack Flaherty.

No one may be more on the right end of the Cardinals’ feasting tendencies than Flaherty, who tossed a quality start on Monday and has received 44 runs of support across his four outings this season.

True is the fact that Flaherty was hit around in the sixth inning -- when staked to an 11-2 lead, he conceded a trio of unearned runs, pitching past a visit of Shildt to his 102 on the night. But also true is this -- only one Cardinals starter has thrown a quality start (Flaherty, who’s done so twice), and only one has thrown a pitch into the sixth inning (Flaherty, also twice).

“Quality start is a funny stat,” said Flaherty, who became the fastest Cardinal to reach 500 strikeouts in the third inning. “I forget what it turns out to, but it's like if you throw a quality start in every single one of your starts, you’d have a 4.50 ERA or so. … For certain guys in the league, that’s good enough, but we're trying to go deeper into games.”

The Washington Nationals are 3-5 at home this season and are solid favorites to beat the St. Louis Cardinals who are 6-4 on the road this season. The Nationals have a better than 55% chance of winning based on 10,000 game simulations generated one play at a time by the AccuScore Simulation Supercomputer. Nationals\' starter Patrick Corbin is forecasted to have a better game than Cardinals\' starter Adam Wainwright. Patrick Corbin has a 34% chance of having a Quality Start (QS) while Adam Wainwright has a 19% chance of a QS. If Patrick Corbin has a quality start the Nationals has a 77% chance of winning. His simulated strikeout to walk ratio is 3.8 and he has a 25% chance of having a 5 to 1 K/BB ratio. When he has a 5/1 ratio the Nationals win 68%. In Adam Wainwright quality starts the Cardinals win 58%. He has a 23% chance of having a 5 to 1 K/BB ratio and if he does his team wins 58% of simulations. In simulations we tracked the batter for each team that was most productive based his average hits, walks and RBI per simulation. The most productive batter for the Washington Nationals is Juan Soto who averaged 3.05 hits+walks+RBI. He has a 57% chance of having a big game with 3+ Hits, Walks, RBI and if he has a big game the Nationals have a 70% chance of winning. The most productive batter for the St. Louis Cardinals is Nolan Arenado who averaged 2.32 hits+walks+RBI. He has a 40% chance of having a big game with 3+ Hits, Walks, RBI and if he has a big game the Cardinals have a 49% chance of winning.

I'm waiting for the guy who does the smart-ass treatments like he did with Yadi schooling the minor leaguer in spring training to do his schtick with this fan.

The Baseball World has thumped Patty O' Corbin this year. Do we continue our trend of feast/famine, or do we smack around this lefty with the slow-slow curveball? let's not screw this opportunity up.
