Chicago hasn't dropped a home series to the Cardinals in over three years. I think they keep that streak alive with a win today. Two good pitchers get the call here so there's not much of an advantage either way there. Chicago has the offensive advantage, averaging 4.6 runs per game at home to St. Louis' 4.0 per game on the road. Ryan Dempster is 34-18 at home vs. winning teams in his career. H's also 33-13 at home with a moneyline in the range of -125 to +125. I give him and the Cubs at home the edge here.
