STL +128

CHC -134 (F5)

Cubs bats off cooled off a little lately but still like their offense compared to STL. Main reason I’m taking this is the huge pitching advantage CHC has in this one. Boyd is having one of the best seasons of his career with a 2.34 ERA. He had a sub 2 ERA in in June and July and has allowed 0 ER in 5 of his last 7 starts. He has also faced STL twice already this year and has yet to allow a run against them. McGreevy is going for STL and he’s had a very up and down time in the bigs so far. He’s allowed 4+ ERs in 4 of his 7 starts including one against CHC in which he allowed 5 ER in less that 5 innings. Feed me this number for the F5 Profit boost
