St. Louis at Chicago

Chicago can't hit, and they match up against St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright. The Cubs have dropped 14 of 18 games, scoring three runs or fewer 10 times in that stretch. Wainwright (12-5, 2.02 ERA) has been dominant all year, and he has gone eight starts in a row spanning 57 1/3 innings without allowing a home run. The Cardinals are 22-7 in Wainwright's last 29 starts as a road favorite. The Cardinals used four RBIs from Matt Adams to snap a season-long four-game skid with a 6-3 win Saturday. The victory kept them within three games of first-place Milwaukee in the National League Central. The Cubs are 3-10 in their last 13 games following a loss and 2-10 as a dog. It's been a one-sided series, too, with the Cardinals 11-5 in the last 16 meetings, plus 9-3 when Wainwright faces the Cubs. Play the Cardinals!
