Tony La Russa sends Ponson to the hill
The Cardinals have won 3 in a row at home. The Cubs want Glendon Rusch to hand them a losing streak instead.
The Cubs start Glendon Rusch, 1-2, 6.60 ERA. His last trip was a win, a 7-3 team win against the Pirates, when he threw 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits.
Sporting a 9-6 overall record and a 7-5 mark within the division, the Cubs aim to knock the Cardinals (7-6 in the division) for a loss.
The Cardinals are favored, opening as 165 chalk, with an opening total of 9.5. They are 10-6 this season and 8-8-0 OU. The Cubs are 9-6 and are 7-7-1 OU.
Dusty Baker's troops went to St. Louis last game and came away with a 9-3 loss, a game that went over 9. Oddsmakers had them as underdogs in that one.
The Cubs staff is stingy with baserunners, allowing fewer men to reach base than just about every team in the league. St. Louis needs to get to Rusch and into the bullpen to make things happen today.
CHC: G. Rusch (1-2, 6.60)
STL: S. Ponson (1-0, 3.97)
