Born in the state of Delaware, Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (1,549) doubled in the fourth inning to pass former Cardinal and current Reds first-base coach Delino DeShields (1,548) for the all-time mark for hits by a player born in the “First State." Goldschmidt leads in almost all other Delaware-born offensive categories, including runs, doubles, home runs, RBIs, walks and extra-base hits.

The New York Mets are 42-29 at home this season and are solid favorites to beat the St. Louis Cardinals who are 37-35 on the road this season. The Mets 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. Mets\' starter Tylor Megill is forecasted to have a better game than Cardinals\' starter Jon Lester. Tylor Megill has a 44% chance of having a Quality Start (QS) while Jon Lester has a 24% chance of a QS. If Tylor Megill has a quality start the Mets has a 77% chance of winning. His simulated strikeout to walk ratio is 6.4 and he has a 52% chance of having a 5 to 1 K/BB ratio. When he has a 5/1 ratio the Mets win 64%. In Jon Lester quality starts the Cardinals win 54%. He has a 18% chance of having a 5 to 1 K/BB ratio and if he does his team wins 54% 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 New York Mets is Pete Alonso who averaged 2.46 hits+walks+RBI. He has a 41% chance of having a big game with 3+ Hits, Walks, RBI and if he has a big game the Mets have a 74% chance of winning. The most productive batter for the St. Louis Cardinals is Paul Goldschmidt who averaged 1.93 hits+walks+RBI. He has a 30% 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 was surprised to learn Lester has a 4.30 ERA for the Cardinals now. Meaning we win this game.
