The St. Louis Cardinals just never overcame the loss of Adam Wainwright this season. And as the season winds down, their playoffs hopes are on life support, trailing the Brewers by 7.5 games in the NL Central. The Cubs scored the victory in the opener of this series last night, and have the momentum coming into game two, with a pitcher gaining momentum as well in Matt Garza. Garza has allowed 3 runs or less in six of his last seven starts, but more importantly in six straight at home. The Cubs have played their best as an underdog at 9-2 in their last 11 games. Take Chicago in this one.
