They’ve been fairly balanced with a 5-5 divisional record and are positioned 2nd within the division.

They have, however, picked up momentum recently with eight wins over their last 10 games and are currently riding a three-game win streak. The Cardinals have evenly split their home game wins and losses at 11-12, and similarly struggled slightly more on the road with a 12-14 mark.<\/p>\n
Looking at the betting odds, the Cubs are slightly favored with a -103 money line compared to the Cardinals at -116. This suggests a close contest. With a point spread of 1.5 and an over\/under sitting at 8.5, this game promises to be tightly contested with potential for lots of action on the field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
