#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. St. Louis,
Money Line: -129.00 St. Louis (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: St. Louis Cardinals
Rating: 5/10*

The St. Louis Cardinals are on a roll as they enter this three-game series against the Chicago Cubs on a six-game winning streak. The Chicago Cubs meanwhile have dropped five of their last six, and I think they're in for a tough series-opener here against their NL Central rival.

The Cardinals hand the ball to Mike Leake (4-1, 1.79 ERA) who has been lights out this season. The Cards have won four of his six starts, and he's allowed more than two earned runs just once. It's also worth noting that the 30 year old right-hander has served up just a single homer so far.

The Cubs hand the ball to Eddie Butler who will make his season debut. The 26 year old was 2-5 with a 7.17 ERA in 17 major leagues appearances (nine starts) last season. The Cards have scored five runs or more in each game during their winning streak, and they're likely to give Butler a tough time tonight.
