Cardinals vs. Cubs Free Pick
CHICAGO, IL (The Spread) – It’s Opening Night in Major League Baseball and the Cardinals are looking to pick up a victory against their division rivals to start the new season.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Cardinals are -108 money line favorites over the Cubs, who are +100 money line underdogs for tonight’s game. The total, meanwhile, is sitting at 7 runs.
Tonight’s starter Jon Lester is battling some “dead arm” right now but wants to pitch in front of his new home crowd after signing a massive free agent contract over the winter. He’ll be opposed by Adam Wainwright, who suffered an injury scare himself in spring training when he strained an abdominal muscle, but he rebound to have a solid spring.
The Cards are 25-10 in Wainwright’s last 35 starts as a road favorite while the Cubs are just 1-7 in their last 5-21 in their last 26 games with the total set at 6.5 or lower.
