Coming off a nice victory with the Indians last night, we’ll shoot for another MLB winner tonight picking the Cubs to beat the visiting Cardinals.

We made this bet at -135 odds at Pinnacle around 3:50 p.m. eastern.

Cardinals vs. Cubs MLB Betting Pick

St. Louis edged the Cubs last night at Wrigley, prevailing 3-2. We think the Cubs are primed for a bounceback effort tonight.

They’ve hit Adam Wainwright well over the years and they’ve got plenty of familiarity with the Cardinals righty, having faced him many times in the past. Wainwright has been very good of late but he’s still not the ace he used to be, and he seems overdue for a subpar start.

Cubs starter Jason Hammel’s numbers are actually better than Wainwright, and he’s backed by a superior offence as well as home field advantage. Chicago’s 50-19 in its last 69 home games, so a -135 price certainly seems more than worth paying.
