20* Chicago Cubs
Tonight I am taking the Chicago Cubs as home favorites against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs start the post All Star break in a familiar place in the standings, 1st. Kyle Hendricks takes the mound and he has had a rough first half record wise but that can be attributed to a lack of run support. In 8 of his 19 starts Chicago only scored 1 run. Look for Chicago to get out of the gate with a win. Take the Cubs!
