St. Louis at Chicago

The Cardinals have fallen apart on a brutal 4-15 run. Miles Mikolas (5.79 ERA) is no stopper with batters hitting .333 off him. St. Louis is 5-11 on the road, 8-20 versus a righty starter, plus 14-35 as a road underdog. Chicago has a winning record at Wrigley Field and plays its fourth straight home game after taking two of three from Miami. The Cubs' offense is 10th in the majors in runs scored, fifth in on-base percentage, and ninth in slugging. Marcus Stroman (2.18 ERA) has been strong all-around and MLB favorites with a starting pitcher with an ERA of 3.70 or better are 182-69 after a game where the bullpen threw eight or more innings. Play Chicago.
