Expect an old-fashioned pitching duel to open this series. St. Louis hands the ball to right-hander Tink Hence, whose lively mid-90s fastball and improving changeup have translated into a 2.31 spring ERA and a sparkling 12.4 K/9. Washington counters with Cade Cavalli, finally healthy after the 2024 elbow surgery; his stuff looks crisp, but his command has wavered (seven walks in nine spring frames).
The matchup favors the Cardinals’ balanced, mostly right-handed order. Nolan Arenado, Jordan Walker and Masyn Winn have each homered off Cavalli in previous Grapefruit League meetings, and the lineup’s collective .349 OBP against power righties sets the stage for an early dent in the second inning. The real damage, however, projects to come in the fifth when Cavalli turns the lineup over for a third time; a two-run double by Walker gaps left-center, chasing the starter.
Washington’s offense remains top-heavy. CJ Abrams and Juan Yepez (added in the Rule 5 draft) provide punch, but they’ve collectively struck out in 31 % of plate appearances this spring. Hence should cruise through the first two turns, surrendering only a solo shot to Yepez in the third. Once the rookie reaches the 85-pitch limit, the Cardinals will lean on their refreshed bridge of Zack Thompson and Andrew Kittredge, with Giovanny Gallegos closing the door in the ninth.
The Nationals’ bullpen—still thin behind Hunter Harvey—has coughed up the NL’s worst WHIP (1.52) since August last year. A seventh-inning insurance run off lefty Jose Ferrero (walk, stolen base, RBI single by Brendan Donovan) provides breathing room.
Add the fact that St. Louis played .556 ball at Busch against sub-.500 clubs last season, and the ingredients point to a methodical 4-2 Cardinals win.
