On a 12-4 SBR Pick tear, and here is today's:
STL -117 vs chc. The Cubs haven’t swept the Cardinals in four years, and they’re going to have a real tough time doing so against St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter, who is 11-3 with a 3.05 ERA and coming off a stellar outing where he only gave up 1 run in 8 innings. Chicago pitcher Ryan Dempster has not fared as well this season, and is coming off a rough outing where he gave up 4 runs in 5 innings against the Astros. The bottom line is the Cardinals are the better team, throwing the much better pitcher, and that should spell a victory for them today. Take St. Louis.
