MLB Premium Play 08/09: Chicago Cubs @ St Louis Cardinals

MLB - 907 Chicago Cubs @ 908 St Louis Cardinals

(Starting Pitchers: C. Rusin vs L. Lynn)

The Cubs will start Chris Rusin tonight, who is coming from allowing four runs in five innings against the Dodgers. After a disastrous first outing at Oakland, Rusin had three decent performances in a row with 3.25, 3.05 and 2.65 FIP! However, his control isn't nothing special, with 5.75 K/9 and 1.86 K/BB. Even though the Cardinals are better on hitting against RH pitchers than LH pitchers like Rusin, this is a great bounce back spot for St Louis and I believe they will put Rusin in some trouble tonight.

Lance Lynn will start for St Louis tonight and he is coming from two runs allowed on eight innings against the Reds last Sunday, while striking out 11 batters! His last three starts were great with 2, 1 and 1 earned runs allowed, while having a nice 24/8 K/BB. Lynn tends to struggle against LH batters, while he absolutely dominates RH batters. With the Cubs having just two LH batters on their lineup tonight, I believe Lynn will have another quality outing tonight. Therefore, I expect an easy win for the Cardinals tonight and so, I'll be taking them on the runline in here.


Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 908 St Louis Cardinals RL -1.5 (w/ L. Lynn) @ -105 / 1.95 on Bookmaker
