Total: 8.00 | -107.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on STL@CHC to go OVER the total.
The Cubs host the Cardinals in Game 1 of this four game series at Wrigley tonight, and with a couple of big name starters going, it might look like a potential pitcher's duel at first glance. The conditions at Wrigley should favor the hitters here tonight though, with 20+ MPH southerly winds forecast.
John Lackey will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's coming off a tough luck loss. Lackey (6-5, 3.30 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on seven hits over seven innings in a 7-1 home loss to the White Sox his last time out. He's struggled on the road, going 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA in seven starts, and he's also just 2-5 with a 4.17 ERA in 11 starts under the lights.
The Cubs hand the ball to Jon Lester, who hasn't made as much of an impact as expected after signing a big contract this off-season. Lester (4-5, 3.74 ERA) tossed seven scoreless innings in a win over the Mets his last time out. He was rocked for four runs on four hits and four walks win four innings in a loss to the Dodgers in his last home start.
The Cardinals lineup has really hit Lester hard in past meeting, with a team batting average of .318. Jason Heyward is 8-for-15 with a home run lifetime versus the southpaw.
Take OVER.
