Cubs vs Cardinals Preview, Parlay Picks

We will see two premier arms on the mound tonight.
Sonny Gray will toe the rubber for the Red Birds. He has been solid at home this year, with a record of 7-2 and an ERA of 3.72.
Southpaw Shota Imanaga will get the nod for Craig Counsell’s team. Imanaga has allowed three runs or fewer in nine of his last ten starts.
I anticipate both pitchers being sharp and setting the tone for tonight’s under.

The veteran draws a favorable matchup tonight.
Ian Happ has enjoyed success in the past against Gray.
The Cubs outfielder has seven hits in 19 career at-bats against Gray. (.368)
