Chicago at St. Louis

The St. Louis Cardinals salvaged a game vs. a suddenly hot Pirate's team, and come back home to take on the struggling Chicago Cubs. Travis Wood is off his worst start of the season, surrendering eight earned runs in just four innings as he had no command at all walking five in the process. Tyler Lyons has drawn the short straw in his three starts on the season. He has pitched admirably well, but is still looking for his first win of the season as the Cards offense has generated just two total runs in his three starts. The Cubs own a woeful 11-31 record in Wood's last 42 starts as an underdog, while St. Louis is pouring it on vs. bad road teams at home where they are now 40-12 here in their last 52 vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Make the play on St. Louis.
