Cardinals vs Cubs baseball betting picks: Why the over looks strong in this afternoon matchup

I’ve never come close to playing sports at a professional level.

However, I recognize not only the physical abilities you need but also the mental side of it.

I always wonder what players think about travel, game times, their teammates, the franchise, etc.

At the end of the day, they are still people just like you and me with a job.

Some of them love it, some of them probably hate it, and some might just miss their families.

This thought was in my head today as we get another baseball game to bet on between the St.

Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs.

The reason the thought came up is that the Cardinals essentially gave up on their team, even though the club was having a solid season.

The team is .500 right now, and still in the Wild Card race.

Now, in fairness to their front office, they are still chasing the Cubs and the Brewers, and their playoff chances are fairly small.

Maybe they even took calculated risks and said, maybe we can get to the postseason while still setting ourselves up for next season and beyond.

The team needed pitching, and instead of getting it, they actually sent some away.

That does open other opportunities for guys, like today’s starter Hunter Dobbins, to get evaluated further.

Dobbins has been solid with a 2-3 record, 3.40 ERA, and a 1.31 WHIP.
