The Cubs vs. Cardinals Showdown: A Tale of Over/Unders and Overconfidence

The St. Louis Cardinals (18-15) and Chicago Cubs (19-14) clash in the rubber match of their weekend series, and the odds suggest this could be a very one-sided affair—unless the Cards pull off a miracle involving a time machine and a hot dog.

The Cubs Are Favored, But Not by Much
The Cubs (-207) are slight favorites, but the implied probability (55.3%) suggests this isn’t a cakewalk. Chicago’s starter, Matthew Boyd, has a 5.5-strikeout prop at +120, meaning bookmakers think he’ll strike out exactly 5 batters. Let’s just say if he gets to 6, the Cards’ lineup might riot.

Player Props: A Hitter’s Paradise
- Kyle Tucker (-260 on hits): The Cubs’ Tucker is so likely to get a hit, it’s like ordering fries with your burger—you expect them.
- Seiya Suzuki (-240 on RBIs): Suzuki’s RBIs prop is so low, it’s like betting he’ll score a touchdown in a soccer match. Expect him to laugh at the line.
- Pete Crow-Armstrong (-250 on doubles): The kid’s got a 0.5-double line? He’s basically being told, “You have to double, kid.”

The Cardinals’ Hopes? Pray for a Rain Delay
Erick Fedde (-135 on the run line) is the Cards’ only hope, but his 3.5-strikeout prop (-145) means Vegas thinks he’ll strike out exactly 3 batters. If he gets to 4, the Cards’ chances of winning drop to “less than a snowball in a sauna.”

The Over/Under: 7.5 Runs
With the total set at 7.5, this could be a high-scoring dud or a pitcher’s duel gone wrong. The Cubs’ offense (-120 on the over) is expected to crack 4 runs, while the Cards’ (-110 on the under) will likely fall short.

Final Prediction
The Cubs win 5-2. Tucker goes 2-for-4 with an RBI, Suzuki drives in 2 runs (making bookmakers weep), and Fedde exits after 5 innings with 3 Ks. The Cards’ best moment? A 5th-inning rally that ends with a double play.

Prop Pick of the Night
Over 0.5 doubles for Pete Crow-Armstrong (-420). He’s so likely to double, it’s like betting the sun will rise tomorrow.

Final Score Prediction
Chicago Cubs 5, St. Louis Cardinals 2. And no, the Cards, we don’t care about your “World Series or bust” talk. This series is 0-2. 😒
