The Chicago Cubs won it all last season and also prevailed in their opener yesterday. Jake Arrieta may have some proving to do as he went through a 31 start stretch of invincibility, leading the Cubs to a 29-2 record. He has since become much less dynamic. The Cubs are 22-14 since then, and the opponents are scoring 3.75 runs a game vs. less than 1.5. The Cardinals own a 74-37 record since the start of the 2013 season with Wainwright on the mound, and over that period opponents have scored just 3.06 runs per game when he takes the ball at home. It looks like a live dog here, so play on St. Louis.
