St. Louis Cardinals DFS SPIN
Nolan Arenado expects to play Sunday after leaving Saturday’s game due to ankle stiffness. Arenado fouled a pitch off his leg and said the ankle stiffened up during the rain delay. He wound up being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning against the Cubs.
Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Nico Hoerner went 3-for-4 with a walk, a steal and three runs scored as the Cubs bested the Cardinals 8-6 on Saturday. Hoerner was hitting .176/.256/.257 in July, so he needed this. He’s now 22-for-25 stealing bases in 90 games this year, though he’s slowed down there some of late. He had 20 steals in 135 games last year.

Cardinals vs. Cubs MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I’m going to fade the Cardinals. They came out of the gates like a bat out of hell, winning their first six games following the All-Star break. That said, over the last two days they’ve gone back to frustrating a proud fan base that expects this club to make the postseason every season. Jordan Montgomery has been the team’s most consistent starter this season, but he coughed up six runs on seven hits with three walks during the Cards’ 10-4 loss at Wrigley Field on May 10. He also has to have the trade deadline on his mind, as he will be dealt for a second consecutive year.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: CHICAGO CUBS +125
