Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: St. Louis Cardinals @ 1.52 (William Hill)
Tip Result:: Loss
The 28-39 Chicago Cubs are 5-10 in their last 15, 1-4 in their last 5 against St. Louis and 0-5 in their last 5 away against St. Louis. Starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija has a 3-7 W/L record for the season with a 3.46 ERA. He lost all 3 starts against St. Louis in 2012. The Cubs have given up a combined 23 runs in his last 3 starts this season.
The 44-25 St. Louis Cardinals are 15-7 in their last 22 at home and are 37-17 this season against right-handed pitchers. Starting pitcher Adam Wainwright has a 10-3 W/L record this season with a 2.19 ERA. He won in 3 of his 4 starts against the Cubs in 2012. In his last 3 starts the Cardinals have given up a combined 4 runs.
The Cardinals are the highest scoring team in the league at the moment and with a superior pitcher taking the mound I'm taking the home side.
