The N.L. CENTRAL Game Of the Month on ESPN is on the St.Louis Cardinals. Game 960 at 8:05 eastern. This game fits a complicated but lethal database system that has WON 50 of 58 Times since 2004. We are playing on home favorites with a total of 8 or less that are off a home favored win at -140 or higher by 5 or more runs if they had 10 or more hits and 1or less errors, and are taking on an opponent like the Cubs that are off a road dog loss by 5 or more runs at +140 or higher and scored 2 or less runs on 5 or more hits, also with 1 or less errors. The Cubs are 0-6 as a road dog off a road loss by 5 or more runs and have lost 5 of the last 6 here. The Cards are 28-7 at home including 4-0 off a home win by 5+ runs. St. Louis has won 5 straight and will look to break out the brooms here, and we note they are 20-8 in Division games and 43-15 vs right handers. Chicago has J. Hammel going and he is 1-3 with a 6.10 era vs St. Louis and he will oppose C. Martinez who will look to avenge his worst loss of the season right here vs the Cubs last month when he allowed 7 runs in 3+ innings. Martinez is 6-1 at home with a 2.89 overall era. The Cards follow up with a home bullpen era that is a solid 1.82 on the season. Look for St. Louis to sweep the Cubs tonight.
