Tommy Pham is leading off for the Cardinals today and playing center field. Kolten Wong will bat sixth.
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.
