How often do you get less than -120 on the capacity and talent such as the St. Louis Cards with a pitcher on the mound that was 23-5 last year with a 2.78 era with offensive prowess such as Rolen, Edmonds and Puljols - coming off a loss?!? Yes, the Cards play the Cubs today versus Zambrano, but big Z did not look all that tough recently giving up 5 earned runs in under 5 innings against the Reds. Furthermore, the Cards are 4-1 in their last 5 road games, 40-13 after scoring 2 runs or less in the previous games and 25-6 in Carpenter's last 31 road starts. Carpenter is 4-1 in his last 5 road start versus the Cubs and the Cubs are 2-5 with Zambrano on the mound as an underdog. Thus, let's ride the team that is one of the best if not the best in the National League - the stellar pitching, powerwful offense, and a coach that is headed into the hall of fame off a previous day's loss.
