Chicago at St. Louis

The Cards have won seven of eight vs. the Cubs here at home this season and I like them to make it eight of nine with a win today. They go with Adam Wainwright who has been good this season. He's 18-8 with a 2.59 ERA. At home he's given up just 25 earned runs in 119 innings, while striking out 107. The Cubs have Zambrano on the mound but the run support this team provides on the road is horrible. Chicago is just 26-36 this season vs. winning teams including 9-18 in their last 27 such games. Meanwhile, over the past two seasons Wainwright is 9-1 in post-All Star play vs. winning teams the past two seasons. The Cubs are 8-19 this season after a game in which they scored just one run and they are 4-25 as an underdog of up to +150! The Cardinals get the call here.
