My Prediction
Chicago Cubs by 2To all baseball lovers out there, I know you've been waiting for this. Today, we have a matchup between Miami Marlins and Chicago Cubs happening at the Wrigley Field in Chicago.
Within the confines of the famous Wrigley Field, the pitchers typically seem to have a slight edge. The starting pitchers today are the Marlins' Ryan Weathers and the Cubs' Jameson Taillon. Weathers' last season statistics paint a picture of a somewhat taxed pitcher. On the other hand, Taillon appears to be having a tougher season this year with an ERA of 4.58.
Turning our attention to the batting end, the Marlins boasts names like Kyle Stowers and Liam Hicks, while the Cubs have Pete Crow-Armstrong and Miguel Amaya stepping up to the plate. Crow-Armstrong and his glorious numbers from last month simply can't be ignored. Moreover, looking at the season so far, the Cubs' roster seem to be getting more consistent hits compared to their amphibious adversaries.
Chewing over past face-offs between these two teams, the Cubs seems to hold sway especially in their last two consecutive wins against the Marlins. Also, glancing at the regular season records, it looks like the Cubs have the superior win-loss ratio with a flattering 24-18 against the Marlins' 15-25. This could be a decisive piece of the puzzle as we often say, numbers don't lie.
The recent results mirror the past showdowns, with the Marlins having more losses than wins, specifically against the Cubs.
In light of these details, placing my chips on who will bag the win this time, it's almost as clear as a sunny day at the Wrigley Field.
