There’s only one game in the Majors today, with the Chicago Cubs hosting the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs are starting to pour it on, winning 3 in a row and 12 of their last 15. The pitching match-up will be Carlos Martinez getting the nod for St. Louis and Kyle Hendricks for Chicago. Both of these pitchers have similar numbers. Martinez is 6-5 with a 3.08 ERA and Hendricks is 6-8 with a 3.92 ERA. St. Louis fired their manager, Mike Matheny prior to the break so the clubhouse could be in a bit of disarray. The Cardinals have struggled at Wrigley Field, going 1-6 in their last 7 games and the Cubs are 5-0 in Hendrick’s last 5 starts against St. Louis. Chicago’s hot, ride them ’til their not.
