Play On: Under 8.0 (5*)

Since the start of the 2017 season, Kyle Hendricks has made 5 starts at Busch Stadium in St. Louis and had a brilliant 1.71 ERA during those outings. Hendricks has also been exceptional form in 3 starts versus St. Louis this season as indicated by a 2.37 ERA and 1.05 WHIP during those appearances. Hendricks has also shown exceptional form during his previous 3 starts overall with a 1.96 ERA and he pitched 6.0 or more innings on each occasion. Dating back to last season, the Cubs have played 27-13 to the over in away games when the number was 8.5 or less.

Adam Wainwright has been terrific at home this season while recording a 2.84 ERA and 0.97 WHIP during 11 starts. Additionally, 8 of those 11 games at home that Wainwright started went under the total. Wainwright has also pitched 6.0 innings or more in 7 of his last 3 starts. That is significant when considering the Cardinals bullpen struggles of late. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager.
