Yesterday’s Results for St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago Cubs

ASA Div MLB TOTAL OF THE MONTH 2:20 PM ET!

Analysis: #951/952 ASA PLAY ON Over 8 Runs – Chicago Cubs vs St Louis Cardinals, Friday at 2:20 PM ET - Taking advantage of the line value here. As a result of northeast wind (not a particularly strong one either) this posted total has been set at 8. This is offering excellent value with going over the total here. The Cubs are starting Clay Holmes and his Cubs debut was a rough outing and he has now allowed 4 earned runs in under 5 innings of work in each of his last two starts. The Cardinals are starting Matthew Liberatore here and he has struggled in 3 of his last 4 starts. Liberatore allowed 13 earned runs in 14 innings over those 3 starts. That included an outing against the Cubs and he has now struggled in each of his two outings against Chicago. That does not bode well for what to expect here for him and Liberatore is likely to get roughed up. The Cubs will surely be ready at home after a rare shutout loss on the road yesterday at Washington. Prior to that shutout loss, Chicago had won 8 of 9 and scored an average of 7.1 runs in those 9 games! The Cardinals have scored 5 or more runs in 4 of their last 5 games and should get to a struggling Holmes in this one. So we have the perfect combo of a low total plus two starting pitchers each likely to struggle. Our computer math model projects 9 to 11 runs here. We are strong on the Over in this one!
