I think there will be a lot of runs today and it depends on which pitching staff settles down first

Ruiz is fixed.
Since the start  of the Giants series (4/17), he's had 53 PAs, 3 HR, 1 SB, with .269 / .283 / .577  and 136 wRC+.

he's hitting nearly 50% files with a nice attack angle. Slow swing, not hitting hard shots, but lofting and pulling 66.7% of  the files.

Almost couldn't get more out of that quality contact.

I predicted he was our worst starter at the beginning of the season and subsequently called for him to be released ,not DFA’ed several times.

Mikolas probably cannot even be a long reliever. Let him go.

Please no repeat of yesterday’s 5th inning. Bases loaded and no outs. Zero runs scored.

You have Lord and Parker in those roles. No need for him here or Rochester.

Mikolas earned at least $100 million just from the Cardinals. He's not hurting for money. Send him into retirement.
