The Chicago Cubs have been dominant for most of this season, they look to stay healthy going into the break.

The Cardinals have Michael Wacha on the mound Wednesday and he hasn’t been very good. He is currently 2-7 with a 4.56 E.R.A and 70 strikeouts.
Wacha looked good in his last start, but was not able to get any run support. Wacha pitched in 7.2 innings of work where he gave up only 1 earned runs on 6 hits.
Wacha also struck out 7 batters and walked 2. Wacha looks to continue pitching well after this start.
Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs’ lineup has been doing what seems to be just enough to win games this season. They are led by Ben Zobrist. Zobrist is hitting .316 with 9 home runs and 42 runs batted in so far.
Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo lead this team in home runs with 17. Bryant is hitting .274 and has knocked in 48 runs, and Rizzo is hitting .273 with a team leading 53 RBIs.

He threw in 6 scoreless innings where he only gave up 2 hits. Jake also struck out 11 batters and he walked 3. He looks to take a league leading 12th win.

I’m taking the Cubs in this one and it shouldn’t be close. Arrieta will stay dominate with this mediocre Cards lineup.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Cubs Runline
Wacha has not pitched well for most of this season so look for the Cubs lineup to tear him up as usual. Cubs in this one, it shouldn’t be much sweat for the lineup or Arrieta.
