St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs
Suggestion: St. Louis Cardinals (-106)

With a 1-5 record at home (4-12 overall), the Chicago Cubs are in no position to be a near pick 'em against St. Louis. The Cardinals without Albert Pujols have been disrespected by the marketplace since the start of the season. But all they do is win and keep winning, 11-5 overall including seven of ten on the road. Jaime Garcia has won only two of his four starts against Chicago, but all four were quality starts, giving up a total of seven earned runs in those games. A similar effort will be more than enough with a hotter team and the stronger bullpen. Invest in the St. Louis Cardinals (-106)
