◆ Matchup preview

Colorado Rockies at St. Louis Cardinals (2026-08-07). Ryan Feltner vs Kyle Leahy at Busch Stadium.

Starters — Ryan Feltner: 5.75 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 76.2 IP, 6.69 K/9, 3.52 BB/9, 2.00 HR/9. His last three starts were 6.0 IP and 4 ER, 5.0 IP and 5 ER, and 2.1 IP and 8 ER. The trend is down, with hard contact and home run prevention remaining clear concerns. Kyle Leahy: 3.44 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 107.1 IP, 7.63 K/9, 2.93 BB/9, 1.01 HR/9. His last three starts were 6.0 IP and 1 ER, 6.0 IP and 2 ER, and 6.0 IP and 1 ER. The trend is up, and his recent form shows steadier command and much better run suppression.

Teams — Colorado owns a .744 OPS and 554 runs, so the lineup has been more productive overall, but the club enters 3-7 in its last 10 games. The bigger issue for bettors is the Rockies’ staff profile, with a 5.51 team ERA and 1.51 WHIP, which leaves little margin if Feltner does not work deep. St. Louis has a .694 OPS and 499 runs, so the offense has been less explosive on the season, and the Cardinals are 4-6 in their last 10. Their pitching base is stronger, with a 4.12 team ERA and 1.34 WHIP, which better supports a lower-variance game script if Leahy continues his current stretch.
