Rickenbach MLB *8* OVER 7.5 runs in Chicago Cubs vs St Louis @ 4:35 ET - Once again the wind should help some with this total on Tuesday. As for John Lackey of the Cardinals, he is certainly the ultimate gamer and he definitely pitched a gem in game one of this series. However, that was at home and was on regular rest. For Tuesday's game four Lackey is on the road and also coming in on short rest. Note that Lackey is 4-6 (and the Cardinals went 6-10) in his road starts this season. Lackey compiled a 3.82 ERA in those outings which, of course, was not nearly in line with the solid numbers he managed to amass at home this season. Look for Lackey to get "touched up" by a Cubs lineup that is now "feeling it" at the plate after scoring 14 runs in these past two games. The issue for the Cubbies today is going to be their own pitching. Jason Hammel gets the start for Chicago and he had a strong start against the Reds in his final appearance of the regular season but, of course, Cincy was not playing for anything. In his 8 starts prior to that Hammel gave up 27 earned runs in 38 innings for a 6.39 ERA. Look for that type of effort from the Cubs righty today and I look for a 3rd straight easy over in this series. Play OVER 8 runs in the Chicago Cubs game as an *8* selection Tuesday.
