At the time of this writing, the following Match Odds/Moneyline were available: St. Louis Cardinals (1.76, -132) and Chicago Cubs (2.12, +112)
Cubs are 9-2 as an underdog, while the Cardinals are 1-6 in Westbrook’s last seven starts within the division.
St. Louis continues to be plagued by double plays and was handed a 3-0 loss versus the Chicago Cubs Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. “The stat everyone should be talking about, the one that’s driving me nuts, is the double plays,” commented Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa after the game. “I’ve never experienced anything like this as a manager.” The Cardinals grounded into two more in their latest loss and continue to lose ground to the Milwaukee Brewers in the divisional race. St. Louis is 18-21 in day games and 28-28 versus NL Central opponents.
Cardinals starting pitcher Jake Westbrook is 9-7 with a 4.81 ERA in 25 starts this season and will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak. The right-hander has allowed eight runs (seven earned) and 15 hits over 13 2/3 innings over that span, as the offense has supplied him just three runs of support. Westbrook has tallied a solid 6-3 mark and 3.75 ERA in 13 road tarts, but has compiled just 39 strikeouts in 74 1/3 frames. He has suffered his two career losses against the Cubs this year, allowing nine runs on nine hits in 8 1/3 innings.
