The Cubs are 53-18 against everyone but the Cardinals at Wrigley Field this year. The Cardinals are 5-2 at Wrigley while the rest of the NL Central is 5-22. ... Jake Arrieta, who will start Friday for the Cubs, is 5-1 with a 1.09 earned-run average against the Cardinals at home but the Cardinals have knocked Arrieta out three times this year before he has completed six innings, including twice at Wrigley. ... Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter, a college teammate of Arrieta’s at TCU, is nothing for 21 against Arrieta in regular-season play although he did have a hit off Arrieta in the division series last year.
