ROAD/HOME RECORDS: Cardinals - 20-10 on the road; Cubs - 17-13 at home.

Not bad career numbers for both starters..but 7 1/2 looks too low for these teams in the rubber game.

The Home Plate Umpire E.Rapuano 4-7-1 on totals this year w/ his last 3 going over!!!! which means he started the season 7-1 on the under.
will have a play by lunch...Good luck today!!
