(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. St. Louis,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -109.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* RUN-LINE play on the St. Louis Cardinals.

Jake Arrieta is obvoiusly "the man," but so was Chris Sale, who just finished getting rocked in a loss to the Indians last night. After getting its butt kicked 12-3 yesterday, we think St. Louis comes into this one much more focused. Arrieta (8-0, 1.29 ERA) is the fifth pitcher in MLB history to win at least 18 straight regular-season decisions. Interesting to note though that the last time he lost on the road, was a 5-1 defeat at St. Louis on May 7th, 2015. The home side counters with Carlos Martinez (4-4, 3.56) who started the season strong, but who has since fallen off. Martinez though benefits in facing this struggling Cubs' lineup, we'll caution in reading too much into yesterday's offensive outbust, as remember Chicago had totaled just six runs over a three-game skid previous. And if history is any precedence, then Martinez has to be liking his chances for scoring an upset today as he's always fared well against Chicago, going 3-0 with a 2.55 ERA in his last four vs. it. We think Martinez can hang with Arrieta into the latter frames and in a contest which we see being decided late or in extras, we'll lay the pick-em price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance. Play on the CARDS on the RUN-LINE.
