ASA top play on 10* OVER 8.5 RUNS St Louis Cardinals @ Chicago Cubs, 8 PM ET - These two teams split a double-header yesterday with one low scoring game and then producing 16 runs in the night cap. The Cubs won the day game 2-0 but St Louis had plenty of chances to score runs but they went 0-10 with runners in scoring position. Both pitching staffs allowed just 10 total hits in the game, but the Cubs were forced to use up their bullpen. In Game two the Cardinals broke open with 16 hits and cruised to a 13-3 win. We know the Cardinals are going to score runs here. They are hitting .310 as a team with 18 home runs and averaged 7 runs per game over their last ten games. In their last 15 games they have produced 95 total runs which is the most in the Major League over the last 15-days. St Louis should feast on Cubs pitcher Luke Farrell making his 2022 debut. Farrell didn’t “fare” well in Triple a with a 5.03 ERA in 11 starts. The Cubs will also contribute to this Over with this being the 4th time seeing Cardinal’s starter Miles Mikolas. Mikolas has a 4.15 ERA versus the Cubs this season and has allowed 20 hits in 17.1 innings of work. In the last 15-days the Cubs have scored 63 total runs or 4.2 runs per game. We expect plenty of runs in this one to push it well past the 8.5 runs.
