Adam Wainwright is only penciled in to pitch Sunday in the Cardinals' regular-season finale. If the Cardinals can clinch the National League Central before Game 162, they'll likely rest Wainwright for Game 1 of the NLDS. So the ace right-hander could be making his final start of the 2013 regular season on Monday night against the Nationals. He is 17-9 with a 2.98 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 209/34 K/BB ratio in 229 1/3 frames this year.
