#951 St Louis -121 Carpenter vs Mitre x5
#951 St Louis un 10.5 x2
The only afternoon game, and playing it with out umpire information. That can be scary, let alone the conflicting wind information at Wrigley.
I expect winds to be slightly out by game time, even though winds are in at the present. Besides, who really knows, as winds shift so often at Wrigley.
In taking the under, there is the risk of the weather and not knowing the umpire at present. I like the fact that neither team has faced the listed starting pitchers. Chris Carpenter is 4-1 overall, ERA of 2.63 day, an overall whip of 0.89.
Sergio Mitre is 2-2 overall, 0-1 day games, 0-1 at home, with a WHIP of 2.07.
Speaking of home/away games, the Cubs are 11-8 at home, the Cards are 12-6 on the road. Some of the Cards road success has to be contributed to their bullpen, around a 2.50 ERA on the road.
Both teams are hitting right handers around .270, which bothers me with the under play. Both teams have played mostly under lately, but playing, for the most part, teams that don't score alot of runs. May be risky playing the under, but still go back to the fact neither team has faced either pitcher during the regular season.
I'm not much into trends, the trends lead to the under, but I feel they are misleading.
It's not easy taking a road favorite in a divisional game. Especially when you have two long time heated rivals.
Latest weather looks like the game will go off on time.
