Cardinals hope to improve to 10-6 with win
The Cardinals can build on their win against the Pirates on Friday when they send 1-0 Mark Mulder against the Cubs at Busch Stadium.
The Cubs start Jerome Williams, 0-1, 1.50 ERA. His last trip was a loss, a 2-1 team loss against the Pirates, when he threw 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits.
Sporting a 9-6 overall record and a 6-6 mark within the division, the Cardinals aim to knock the Cubs (7-4 in the division) for a loss.
The Cardinals (9-6) opened as 180 favorites and they host a Cubs team that has won 9 of their 14 games this season. The total opened at 9.
Last time out, at Dodger Stadium against Los Angeles, the Cubs as underdogs defeated the Dodgers 5-4. That game was an over play.
Tony La Russa's team was busy last game winning against Pittsburgh 4-0 as favorites. The 4 runs sent that game under the total of 9.
Don't expect St. Louis to beat themselves at the plate by striking out a lot. The selective Cardinals batters are in the top three in the league, fanning just 5.1 times per game.
