Cardinals vs Cubs Preview, Parlay Picks
Chicago Cubs ML
Tonight will be game one of a Sunday Night Baseball doubleheader special. We will ride with the home team in the rubber game of this three-game series.
Chicago holds a strong advantage on the mound tonight. Southpaw Matthew Boyd will get the nod for this prime-time start.
Boyd has been outstanding at Wrigley Field this year with a perfect 7-0 record and an ERA of 2.44.
Erick Fedde will toe the rubber for the Cardinals. He has struggled lately, allowing 14 runs in his last two starts, and now faces one of the best offensive teams in baseball.
Dansby Swanson 1+ Hit
The Cubs' shortstop draws a favorable matchup tonight.
Dansby Swanson has strong numbers in his career against Fedde with 10 hits in 26 at-bats (.385).
The veteran will continue his success against him tonight.
