MLB pick today: Chicago Cubs ML over St. Louis Cardinals (-126), 1:10 pm ET
The Cubs and Cardinals take the field at the stadium that hosted the 2012 Olympic Games in London on Saturday as part of the MLB World Tour. The London game is a popular one, and having a Cubs-Cardinals rivalry game there should be fun. Both teams come in playing well, as the Cubs are fresh off a sweep of the Pirates, and the Cardinals have won 4 of 5 coming into this one. They will play a pair in London. The last time London hosted games, the scores were high – not Mexico City high, but high.'
Taking the mound are Adam Wainwright and Justin Steele, which should be a huge advantage for the Cubs, so long as Steele doesn't turn out to be nervous on the international stage. We know Wainwright won't be nervous, as he has pitched on every kind of stage imaginable, but at 41 years old, there just isn't much left in the tank. His ERA is creeping close to 6.00, and he is going to throw around 5 innings and give up several runs in the process. Steele has the advantage of being a groundball pitcher, which should mitigate most of the effects of the stadium.
