Free MLB Pick
The Cubs starters have a 6.05 ERA during their 4-game slide, which began right after Jason Hammel’s last start where he did not allow any earned runs on only 2 hits over 7 innings in a 1-0 win over the L.A. Dodgers. That game snapped a 2 game losing streak with Hammel on the hill and the Cardinals have won their last 5 game with him getting the start facing a team that has a winning record. Carolos Martinez had a less that stellar outing earlier this season giving up 7 runs in only 3 innings, but the offense bailed him out in the 10-9 win. Since that game he has 8 starts and is 5-2 with an ERA of 1.55. The Cardinals are 5-1 in Martinez’s last 6 home starts.
I look for a good pitching duel tonight and the Cubs’ offense will continue to stay cold and the Cardinals will take this game and sweep the series.
