The tides have officially turned in the NL Central with the Cubs winning the World Series last year and the Cardinals projected to be a mediocre team in 2017. It will be Jon Lester taking on Carlos Martinez at Busch Stadium in this one. Martinez went 16-9 with a 3.04 ERA last season. The Cardinals have lost his last four starts taking on the Cubs. Chicago is 4-1 in their last five at Busch Stadium overall. Lester went 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA against the Cardinals last season. Take the Cubs to ruin the Cardinals home opener in this one.
