Cardinals Loving Their Trips To Wrigley Field

The St. Louis Cardinals take to Wrigley Field on Friday to kick off a critical weekend series. The Cards – who are a half-game back of the NL wild card – have enjoyed their trips to Chicago, though, as the team is 5-2 SU and 6-1 against the runline in its past seven games at Wrigley.

  • The Cubs are 9-1 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on Friday.
  • The Cardinals are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games as a moneyline underdog of 195 or less.

Mike Leake has been his usual mediocre self since returning from a stint on the DL, as the righty has a 4.41 ERA in his past three outings. One of those three starts came against the Cubs, an outing that saw Leake surrender six hits, four runs and two home runs across 6.0 innings of work.

Jake Arrieta has been struggling in his recent starts at home, as the Cubs’ ace has surrendered 18 runs in his past four starts at Wrigley Field. It has been the long ball that has been really damaging Arrieta in those contests, as he has surrendered five home runs in that span.
