    The Cubs are 10-8 in St Louis the last 3 years.

    Hill is 1-0 against the Cardinals with an 3.12 ERA and a 1.039 WHIP. His team's record is 2-1 and the OVER is 0-3.
    Wainwright is 0-3 against the Cubs with an 8.73 ERA and a 1.939 WHIP. His team's record is 1-3 and the OVER is 2-1.


    I like the pitching matchup for the Cubs in this one, but the Cardinals got a stronger pen and have been better defensively the last 7 games. The Cardinals is actually close with the Cubs at bat this season.
    I gonna stay away from picking a winner in this one cause this can go either ways, but I'll go for the U8.

    Reds are 4-3 in Atlanta the last 3 years.

    Hudson is 2-0 against the Reds with an 4.87 ERA and a 1.525 WHIP. His team's record is 3-0 and the OVER is 3-0


    I haven't made up my mind in this one yet. The Braves struggled in Washington and I don't know what physical form Hudson is in right now, but I'm leaning on the Braves right now. The Braves have been better than the Reds at bat so far, Hudson have good stats against them and I think their struggles gonna stay in Washington. Im a bit worried about the pen tho.
    My prediction is 6-5 Braves and O8.5.

    Padres is 4-2 in Miami the last 3 years.

    Hendrickson is 1-2 against the Padres with a 2.55 ERA and a 1.013 WHIP. His team's record is 2-2 and the OVER is 2-2.


    The Marlins should win this one, but I don't like that their offense is better on the road. The Padres have a really bad record in the night games and they can't produce a lot of offense. Meanwhile the Marlins should produce around 5-6 runs this game.
    My prediction is a Marlins 5-1 win and U9.
