St. Louis has won Adam Wainwright's last five starts. And in his last three outings at home, the right-hander has allowed just six earned runs in 19 innings. Wainwright pitched 6 2/3 shutout innings against Colorado on Wednesday giving up six hits and one walk. The Cubs have cooled off, losing six of their last 10 games after a scorching start to the season, and they come off a tough 1-0 loss on Sunday night in San Francisco. John Lackey will face his former teammates with a 4.74 road ERA this season, compared to 2.12 at home. The Cardinals are looking to avenge a series loss to the Cubs in April, and St. Louis is second in the major leagues with an .849 OPS against right-handers. There is good value with the home team in this matchup. Play the Cardinals and Wainwright on Monday night.
