It’s been a good start to the 2018 campaign for both the Cubs (38-27, minus-2.88 betting units) and the Cardinals (36-29, minus-1.98 units), although they find themselves in the red at press time, trailing the Milwaukee Brewers for first place in the National League Central. The Cubs have the best hitting in baseball thus far, but their pitching has been substandard; St. Louis is less polarized, with decent results on both sides of the equation.
Quintana has definitely gotten by with a little help from his friends. The North Siders are 9-4 in his 13 starts for 1.97 units in profit, but only because they’ve given him 6.31 runs of support per game. The Cards, on the other hand, are 4-4 behind Flaherty for a loss of 1.20 units, providing just 4.25 runs per game and driving the Under to a 5-2-1 record.
MLB Odds: Cubs Visit Cardinals in Route 66 Reunion
The Chicago Cubs (38-27, minus-2.88 betting units) visit the St. Louis Cardinals (36-29, minus-1.98 units) this week for a three-game series between these familiar NL Central rivals. ESPN will show the finale on Sunday Night Baseball beginning at 8 PM ET.
Jose Quintana (4.09 ERA) is expected to start for Chicago, while rookie right-hander Jack Flaherty (2.96 ERA) is due up for St. Louis. Despite the difference in ERA, the big-hitting Cubs are 9-4 behind Quintana for 1.97 units in earnings, while the Cards are 4-4 and 1.20 units in the red with Flaherty on the mound.
