This is an 8* play on the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cardinals host the Cubs in Game 2 of this series at Busch Stadium this afternoon, and they'll look to add to their 27-7 home record. This looks like a mismatch across the board, and I am a little surprised to see an affordable price on St. Louis.

Michael Wacha will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's looking for his 10th win of the season. Wacha (9-3, 2.85 ERA) didn't have his best stuff in a loss to the Phillies at Citizen's Bank Park his last time out. He's been dominant at home in his career, he's 3-1 this year, and he was 5-0 with a 2.44 ERA in nine starts at home last year.

The Cubs hand the ball to Donn Roach, who makes his season debut. The 25 year old failed to impress as a reliever last year, struggling with his control, and posting an ERA of 4.75 and a WHIP of 1.68.

The Cubs bats haven't done them any favors lately, as they've failed to score more than two runs in four straight games.

Take STL.
