The Cubs are going for their first road sweep of the Cardinals since 2010. I don't see them getting it in this day game.

The pitching matchup is Kyle Hendricks versus Carlos Martinez. Hendricks is a bottom of the rotation starter while Martinez could be an ace for teams less stocked in pitching talent than the Cardinals. St. Louis won all four of Martinez's starts against the Cubs last year. Martinez has a 3.06 ERA during his past three starts against the Cubs. The Cardinals have won 77 percent of Martinez's past 31 starts.

Hendricks has a 4.28 ERA in five career starts versus the Cardinals. The right-hander has a 4.91 ERA in two starts at Busch Stadium. Matt Carpenter and Matt Holliday are a combined 12-for-22 against Hendricks with three home runs.

St. Louis is 7-2 in its past nine games against a right-handed starter.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover's Wednesday ticket is headed up by his Stanley Cup Wednesday Wipeout Winner. Stephen is 14-5-2 on his last 19 hockey plays.)
