According to OddsShark.com, St. Louis is a slight underdog at -103 for Friday's game. It will be a battle between two veteran pitchers with Jon Lester (7-2, 2.22 ERA) and Michael Wacha (8-1, 2.47 ERA). Lester is 5-1 with a 1.63 ERA in his last eight starts and 1-0 in two starts against the Cardinals this season. The total is set at eight runs and the UNDER has been 6-1 in the Cubs' last seven games as the team has sputtered to score many runs as of late. Kyle Hendricks will battle Carlos Martinez on Saturday and Jose Quintana will face Jack Flaherty on Sunday.
