Corbett's speedy runners might be the difference in Thursday's contest. The Cardinals have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.3 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Banks, though, as they've been averaging an even more impressive 1.3 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Corbett continue to outrun the ball?
Corbett might still be hurting after the 18-2 loss they got from Banks when the teams last played back in April. Can the Cardinals avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
