Cubs vs Cardinals predictions
As the Chicago Cubs take on the St. Louis Cardinals, I'm expecting a big game from Cubs' second baseman Nico Hoerner. With a batting average of .257, he's been a consistent force in the Cubs' lineup, and I think he'll come through with a couple of RBIs tonight. Meanwhile, Christopher Morel has been on a tear lately, and I predict he'll hit a home run and bring in at least two runs for the Cubs. And let's not forget about Ian Happ, who's been a clutch hitter all season - I think he'll come through with a key hit in a crucial situation.
On the other side, the St. Louis Cardinals have their own stars to look out for. Nolan Arenado is always a threat at the plate, and I think he'll come through with a big hit tonight, maybe even a home run. Brendan Donovan has been on a hot streak lately, and I predict he'll bring in at least one run for the Cardinals. And Paul Goldschmidt is always a force to be reckoned with - I think he'll come through with a big play, whether it's a hit or a defensive gem.
So, who's going to come out on top in this one? I think the Cubs' strong offense will be too much for the Cardinals to handle. With Shota Imanaga on the mound, I'm predicting a Cubs win, maybe even a shutout. The Cardinals just haven't been able to get their offense going consistently, and I think the Cubs will be able to capitalize on that. My prediction: Cubs win 5-0.
