Stl. Louis Cardinals over Chicago Cubs: Molina is out for Stl. Closer Hicks threw 35 pitched yesterday so he will likely not be available. These 2 issues have contributed to the line being lower than it should be. We will give Chic a small adv on offense. They have been in better form although Stl offense has underperformed for the last few weeks. We will rate the bullpens equal. THst leaves stating pitching where we have a med adv. Quintana depends onnthe defense does not have over powering stuff. On a good day he will give you 6 inngs. This year his BAA so far is 263. Stl over 113 ABS sees him well hitting 354. Flaherty started off slow but is rounding into form. 65K only 20BB over 60 inngs. His BAA is 228. I have this game at 1.41 giving us excellent value.
