St. Louis Cardinals Set to Face Chicago Cubs in Deciding Matchup

A preview of the third game in the series between the Cardinals and Cubs, including odds and predictions.

The St. Louis Cardinals are set to take on the Chicago Cubs in the final matchup of their weekend series on Sunday Night Baseball. After an 8-6 victory for St. Louis on Saturday, having lost the Friday opener 11-3, the stakes are high.

Erick Fedde (3-8, 4.56 ERA) will start for the Cardinals, opposed by Cubs’ Matthew Boyd (8-3, 2.65 ERA). The first pitch at Wrigley Field is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. ET. Chicago is favored at -225 while St. Louis sits at +181. The over/under for total runs scored is set at 7.

The SportsLine Projection Model has simulated the game 10,000 times and suggests strong value in two bets here:

  • Cubs ML (-225)
  • Cardinals run line +1.5 (-125)

Additionally, expect Matthew Boyd to surpass 4.5 strikeouts; he’s performed well lately, hitting over this mark in most of his starts this season.

The model indicates the Cubs winning the game with a coin flip probability for the Cubs covering the spread consistently.
