With Imanaga on the mound today, the Cardinals will have a tough time getting anything off the pitcher who is pitching fantastic. The Cubs have limited the Cardinals to three runs or less in their last five games. Even Mikolas on the mound for St. Louis has pitched his last 2 games better, only giving up 4 runs but the team won both games. Imanaga in his last three games all stayed under the total with a combined total across three games of only 8 runs. Runs are going to be at a premium. The total has gone Under in 5 of the Cubs' last 7 games when playing on the road against St. Louis. Mikolas is 22-10 to the Under as an underdog of +100 or higher.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
