The St. Louis Cardinals just keep on winning, coming off a three game sweep versus the Cubs over the weekend. They host Chicago's other team tonight, and the White Sox have the worst road record in the American League. I think the bookmakers are giving the visitors far too much credit with their ace on the hill here in St. Louis.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - Chris Sale will be on the mound for Chicago, and he's lost three straight starts. Sale (6-4, 3.02 ERA) gave up six runs on nine hits in a loss at Minnesota in his last appearances. He's been better at home than he has been on the road, and he's often victimized by Chicago's weak bullpen. The Cardinals counter with a solid pitcher of their own, as Lance Lynn is 3-1 with a 2.31 ERA at home this year.

2. Cardinals Bullpen - The Cardinals have moved ahead of Kansas City for the top ranked bullpen in the majors with an ERA of 2.01.

3. X-Factor - The Cardinals are 44-10 in their last 54 games at Busch Stadium.

Selection: This is a play on the St. Louis Cardinals.
