Adam Wainwright Seeks To Jump-Start Season Versus Reds
11 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright goes up against Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday for the rubber match of their weekend series. The 41-year-old got a late start to 2023 with a groin injury and has been gashed for a 5.97 ERA and 1.74 WHIP since May 6. Wainwright is yet to reach the sixth inning or yield fewer than multiple runs in any of his initial six starts. To make matters worse, the big right-hander is just 1-4 with an ugly 7.71 ERA and just 19 strikeouts over 32 2/3 innings against Cincinnati since 2021. These factors render Wainwright a highly contrarian DFS play and shy-away streaming option outside of deep leagues despite the seemingly manageable draw.
