St. Louis at Houston

The Cardinals were dealt a blow before the season even started when Adam Wainwright went down to a season-ending arm injury. They have plodded along, hovering over the .500 mark while Jaime Garcia continues to grow into a top starter at 3-0. Bud Norris has pitched two straight solid games allowing a total of 3 runs, and is on his game right now. The Cards have really struggled as a road favorite at 1-8 in their last nine. The Astros are paying dividends to backers at home vs. a lefthander at 16-5 in their last 21. Houston has also been UNDER to a 33-15-3 mark following a day off, and 6-1 to the UNDER at home behind Norris with a total from 7-8.5. Garcia has delivered a 17-8 mark to the UNDER in his last 25 starts as a favorite. Play Houston to win and the total to come in UNDER.
