Play: Chicago Cubs
Rating: 8*

The Chicago Cubs have the division all wrapped up, but the team has shown no intention of slowing down. I think we're getting a great price on the Cubbies when they take on division rival St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday afternoon.

Jon Lester (16-4, 2.51 ERA) will take the ball for Chicago. He's been outstanding all season long and he's coming off seven scoreless innings at Houston. Lester held the Cardinals to a pair of runs in six innings of a 4-3 Cubs win on Aug. 11 without factoring in the decision.

Carlos Martinez (14-7, 3.05 ERA) takes the ball for the Cardinals. The team has won each of his last five starts, but his last outing was far from perfect when he conceded three runs (two earned) on nine hits in seven innings against the Brew Crew. Martinez has surrendered 10 rus on 16 hits and nine walks in 18 innings of work against Chicago already this season.

Chicago is a terrific team in day games and it had won six of the past eight meetings at Busch Stadium heading into Tuesday's contest.
