The St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves have finalized their 25-man rosters for this evening's NL Wild Card matchup. Other than the understandable dearth of starting pitchers on each roster, there are no real surprises for either team.
The Cardinals have elected to put 10 pitchers on their roster, while the Braves have gone with nine. Each team has one back-up starting pitcher in case of injury or if things get out of hand early, but the rest of the pitching spots are taken up by bullpen arms.
