Cardinals manager Mike Matheny officially announced Sunday that Adam Wainwright will start for the Cardinals in Game 1 of the World Series against the Red Sox on Wednesday. This certainly doesn't come as a surprise, as Wainwright is the ace of the Cardinals staff and will be more than fully rested, having last pitched in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Dodgers on Monday. Thus far in the postseason, Wainwright is 2-1 with a 1.57 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 20/1 K/BB ratio over three starts (23 IP). Michael Wacha is expected to follow up in the Cardinals rotation.
