The St. Louis Cardinals (5-2) take on the Chicago Cubs (2-5) Friday afternoon with a pair of power righties on the mound. SP Adam Wainwright -- whose fastball average 93.5 mph in his last full season -- and SP Jeff Samardzija (95.3 mph fastball in his start on Sunday) square off in the Cardinals' home opener.
