Analysis

2 Unit Play. Take #951 St. Louis (+1.5 RL) over Chicago (2:20p.m., Friday, August 14 Apple TV+) We will side with the run line in this game as the total tells me the wind will benefit the pitchers in this game. This is a rivalry and the Cardinals would love to kill the Cubs chances of winning the NL Central. I never believe Clay Holmes can through a dominating game on the mound.
