Chicago at St. Louis

Like last year the Chicago Cubs aren't winning a lot of games because of a weak offense, but they aren't getting smoked because of great pitching. The Cubs are 3-3 the last six games, winning all three as a dog, and losing 7-6 and 5-4 to Pittsburgh. The Cubs have been a good bounce back team, 4-1 following a loss. The rival St. Louis Cardinals aren't tearing it up offensively; 22nd in runs scored, 20th in on base percentage, and 26th in batting average and slugging. The Cardinals are 1-5 following a win and 1-4 in Mike Wacha's last five starts vs. a team with a losing record, so the value is with the Cubs to win or keep it real close. Play the Cubs on the Run-Line.
