Point Spread: -1½/+115 St. Louis

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Win

*3 Star MLB Early Bird Special* The Cubs smashed the Cardinals in St. Louis' home opener yesterday afternoon. Expect the Cardinals to be more than a little salty about that loss. Lance Lynn is a very good young pitcher who could be very good this year. Chris Volstad never really put it together for the Marlins, and he has an ERA above 5 against the Cardinals in his career. The Cubs are just 2-7 in their last 9 at St. Louis. The Cardinals are 41-19 in their last 60 against a right-handed pitcher. Look for St. Louis to cruise here.
