My Prediction
Chicago Cubs by 3Let's march right into it! The St. Louis Cardinals are on the road, paying a visit to the windy city, to take on the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. I hope they brought their earplugs, that place can be deafening!
At the mound, we have Erick Fedde starting for the Cardinals this season. His stats are a bit cringe-worthy with a 4.66 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. You'd think he was bowling instead of pitching. Conversely, the Cubs are grinning like Cheshire cats with Matthew Boyd on the mound. His 2.66 ERA and 1.09 WHIP is sure to ruffle some Cardinal feathers.
You know, it's not all doom and gloom for our visitors, the Cardinals do bring some talent to the field. Say hello to Yohel Pozo, Alec Burleson, and Nolan Gorman. The trio have been hitting like Mozart writing symphonies. Though I will say, they could use a bit of a boost in the stolen base category. Don't you agree?!
As for the Cubbies, they have Mike Busch, Seiya Suzuki, and Ian Happ who are hitting better than a cup of coffee on a Monday morning. But let's take a moment to appreciate the showstopper, Drew Pomeranz. The man's been pitching like nobody's business, a perfect 0.00 ERA and WHIP. Makes me wonder if he made a deal with the baseball gods in exchange for better stats!
Looking back at their previous encounters, it's as hotly contested as ketchup or mustard on a hotdog. The Cubs handily beat the Cardinals 11-3 and 3-0 in their recent matchups, but we can't forget the Cardinals managed to squeak past with an 8-6 win. We love a good back and forth, don't we?
The Cubs' Regular Season Record looks more impressive than the Cardinals' by a noticeable margin. And don't get me started on the recent results - St. Louis has been having a rough go at it recently, like a bad hangover on a work day that just won't quit.
On the other side of the diamond, the Cubs, these guys are smokin' hot! And I dare you to find recent losses in their records - it would be like finding a needle in Wrigley Field.
All right, I think I've taken enough swings, it's about time to call this one. Put on your surprised face because this should come as no shock.
