5-game report
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. St. Louis,
Money Line: -102.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the St. Louis Cardinals.

A couple of red hot hurlers go head-to-head in this one, but we think that Michael Wacha offers great value on his home field. The visitors hand the ball to Jon Lester (7-2, 2.22 ERA) who went seven scoreless in a victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday. That's now back-to-back seven scoreless outings for Lester and simply put, we are expecting a predictable letdown here finally. Wacha (8-1, 2.47) gave up two runs off four hits with six strikeouts over six innings in a win over Cincinnati on Saturday. Wacha wasn't perfect, but he still found a way to win, which happened to be his eighth straight. Note that he's 5-0 with a 1.85 ERA at home thus far. We like Wacha to continue his dominant run at home, while Lester does indeed seem poised for a letdown. Play on the CARDINALS.
