Jordan Montgomery has only had one bad outing as a Cardinal; that came against the Braves. Against the Cubs on Aug. 22, Montgomery threw a complete-game one-hitter. He's 3-0 with a 1.79 ERA lifetime against Chicago. Adrian Sampson got roughed up in his last matchup with the Redbirds and lasted just 3.1 innings last time out vs. Milwaukee. Ride the hot team and lay -1.5 runs at -110.

The Cardinals have won all five of Jordan Montgomery's starts. One of these was in Chicago, and the Cubs only had a single baserunner over all nine innings against Montgomery. Not to mention, he also threw seven scoreless innings against the Cubs earlier this season with the Yankees. Meanwhile, the Cubs are 0-2 in Adrian Sampson's starts against St. Louis this season, and last week he surrendered five runs in 3.1 IP. The Cardinals are 10-6 against the Cubs this season and 8-2 on the run line in those wins. Back Montgomery and take Cards -1.5 ( -110).
