The Cardinals are seeing their hopes of winning their division fade. They have lost five of their last seven games and need a win here to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Cubs. St. Louis sends Jake Westbrook to the mound to stop the bleeding. Westbrook is 6-3 on the road this season, with a 3.75 ERA and he shouldn't have too much trouble with a Cubs lineup that averages just 4.1 runs per game. Over the past two seasons, the Cubs are just 29-47 at home in expected close games (+130 to -130). They are also just 20-31 during that span in night games at Wrigley. This season they are 21-35 following a win. Play on the Cardinals here.
