St. Louis at Chicago

The St. Louis Cardinals are off to a good start despite not getting a single win from their aces Carpenter, and Wainwright. Adam Wainwright missed the entire 2011 season after a huge 2010 season, and the early returns have been more than shaky. Wainwright is the owner of an 0-3 record and a hefty 9.88 ERA. He has already served up 5 HRs in just 13.2 innings of work, and has been hit hard. Wainwright has long struggled in division games, where the Cards are a meager 1-7 in his last eight starts. Wainwright is getting respect by the oddsmakers based on past performance, but his post-surgery performance has shown something completely different. Play on the Cubs.
