Point Spread: 1.50 | -200.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 6* play on the St. Louis Cardinals +1.5.
The Cardinals finished with the best record in the majors this season, but they face elimination here in Game 4 at Wrigley. I think St. Louis will find a way for force a Game 5 back at home at Busch Stadium.
John Lackey will toe the slab for the visitors, and he's owned the Cubs this year. Lackey (13-10, 2.77 ERA) tossed seven scoreless innings, giving up just a pair of hits while striking out five in a 4-0 win in Game 1. He was 2-0 with a 1.25 ERA in three starts versus the Cubs during the regular season, and one of those wins came at Wrigley. The veteran is also 2-0 with a 2.49 ERA in previous post-season starts on three days rest.
The Cubs hand the ball to Jason Hammel, who has not had much success against St. Louis. Hammel (10-7, 3.74 ERA) tossed five scoreless innings in a win at Cincinnati in his final start of the regular season. He was better on the road than he was at Wrigley, with only three of his 10 wins coming at home. He was 1-1 with a 5.73 ERA in three starts versus the Cardinals this year.
The St. Louis lineup is hitting a combined .323 over 127 at bats versus Hammel.
Take STL.
