Chicago Cubs
Quintana was solid in his last outing despite giving up two solo home runs, but he put in a quality start against the Milwaukee Brewers. He went six innings giving up four hits and two earned runs while he struck out three and walked two.
In 13 starts this season, Quintana owns an 8.96 K/9, 4.22 BB/9, 1.28 HR/9, and a high 15.2% HR/FB ratio, which is high for a pitcher who induces more ground balls than fly balls. The end result is a 4.09 ERA and 4.35 FIP for the lefty.

Chicago has been playing mediocre baseball in the past week winning three of their six contests. During that span their lineup is slashing .212/.295/.318 to go with 13 extra-base hits and 23 RBI.
St. Louis Cardinals
Flaherty was solid in his last outing as he put in a quality start and picked up his third win of the season against the San Diego Padres. He went 6.1 innings giving up three hits, one earned run, and one home run while striking out six and walking one.
In eight starts, Flaherty owns a solid strikeout (9.46 K/9) to walk (2.17 BB/9) rate, and has done an okay job keeping the ball in the park (1.18 HR/9). His end result is a solid 2.96 ERA and an okay 3.55 FIP.
St. Louis has been playing losing baseball in the past week as they’ve only won two of their six contests. During that span their lineup is slashing .257/.301/.421 to go with 13 extra-base hits and 21 RBI.

Free Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals MLB Prediction: Cardinals take down Chicago at home
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: UNDER 8.5 Runs
Quintana has actually been money on the road where he owns a 2.65 ERA and a slash line of .208/.302/.378. Flaherty just put in a strong start, and I expect him to repeat himself at home where he owns a .278/.366/.389 slash line. This total should stay under the threshold.
