Result: Loss
This is an 8* PITCHERS DUEL on the UNDER Cardinals/Cubs.
Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end this evening.
The Cards have now won five straight after taking all three vs. the Marlins in their first series back from the break. Two of three went OVER the number and now St. Louis has seen the total go OVER in five of its last six.
The Cubs went 2-1 in their first second-half series vs. the Nationals, and all three games went OVER the number. Chicago has now seen the total go OVER the number in eight straight.
The value has now swung the other way as far as the total is concerned in my opinion. So here we have two experienced starters going head-to-head as well.
Steven Matz is 0-7 for St. Louis, despite a respectable 4.86 ERA.
His counterpart Marcus Stroman though is 10-6 with a 2.88 ERA and 1.09 WHIP.
I'm anticipating a classic "duel" here, and when you take into account the rest of the situational and trend-based factors listed above, they all smash together here to make the UNDER the correct call in my opinion.
Good luck, NP
