The Chicago Cubs are getting hot, and just at the right time, with three games left in the regular season. Today in an early one, they will host their arch-rival, the St. Louis Cardinals. One of the best in the business will tap the rubber for the Cardinals, Adam Wainwright. Unfortunately, Wainwright’s season has been plagued by injuries and he is 2-3, with a 4.08 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. Kyle Hendricks will get the nod for the Cubs. Hendricks, who always finds his mark, is 13-11 with a 3.49 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Chicago is 4-1 in his last 5 home starts and 7-0 in his last 7 turns against St. Louis. The Cardinals have struggled at Wrigley, going 4-13 in their last 17. Consider the Cubs.
