Tommy Pham leading off for Cardinals, Wong batting sixth
Tommy Pham is leading off for the Cardinals today and playing center field. Kolten Wong will bat sixth.
What It Means:
This could mean one less plate appearance for Kolten Wong today. Wong has been batting almost exclusively out of the leadoff spot since mid-May and has a .326 wOBA since then. Pham was recently called up from Triple-A where he had a .439 wOBA. The Cardinals face Odrisamer Despaigne of the Padres today who is not particularly good against hitters from either side of the plate.
