CUBS VS CARDINALS PREDICTION
The Cubs’ Alzolay has had a lot of success against the Cardinals holding the team batting average to a .167. The Cardinals’ Kim has struggled against the Cubs as a team they have a team batting average of .276 with Beaz, Bryant, and Rizzo batting over .300. Bryant is listed as questionable for this game so you will want to know his status and the starting lineup before placing your final bets. The Cubs are hitting lefties at .245 and the Cardinals are hitting righties at .228. The Cubs have the better bullpen and let a great chance at a win slip away in the top of the 10th in last night’s game. The Cubs should be ready to go today after that walk-off loss. Take the Cubs to get the job done today.
