This is a 10* play on the St. Louis Cardinals.
Carlos Martinez stumbled in his final two starts of the first half, but rebounded with a huge performance in the All Star game and was decent in his first start back from the break. The Cubs' Jake Arrieta struggled to start the year, but closed the first half strong. Regardless of all of these facts, we definitely feel that Martinez and the Cardinals have much more than just a "punchers chance" in this one:
Martinez: He's 6-8 with a 3.36 ERA. Martinez most recently gave up two runs while striking out five over seven innings in an unfortunate no-decision against the Pirates on Sunday. Despite a 2-5 record on the road, Martinez does own a very respectable 3.83 ERA.
Arrieta: He's 9-7 with a 4.17 ERA. Arrieta comes in off a victory over the Orioles on Saturday, giving up two runs over 6.2 innings of work. Note that Arrieta owns a pedestrian 4.01 ERA at home though.
The bottom line: St. Louis is already 17-14 (+1.1 units) in all "day" games, while Chicago is just 21-22 (-12.1 units) in all day contests. Looks like a great spot to pull the trigger on the undervalued dog, play on the CARDINALS.
