St Louis Cardinals vs Chicago Cubs 8/25/2022 Picks Predictions Previews
The St. Louis Cardinals will go against the Chicago Cubs in MLB action in Wrigley Field, IL, on Wednesday, August 25, 2022, at 2:20 PM ET.
The Cards must now be regarded as World Series candidates on par with the Dodgers and Yankees because they did not drop a series in the whole month.
Given that they have a 4.5-game lead and a favorable remaining schedule, securing the NL Central shouldn’t be difficult. In all, the Cards won nine of their past 10 matches.
In the season finale, Dakota Hudson will be making his 23rd appearance. Hudson struggled once more in his most recent outing against the Diamondbacks, giving up four runs on five hits in 4.1 innings, but he was still able to get a no-decision in a game the Cards prevailed.
The right-hander, who enters with a 4.33 ERA, a 1.42 WHIP, and a 6-6 record in 114.1 innings of work, is experiencing some problems on the mound after giving up nine runs in his past 13.1 innings.
With a record of 2-0 and a 3.13 ERA in 23 innings versus the Cubs, Hudson performed admirably.
- The St. Louis Cardinals are 9-2 SU in their last 11 matches.
- St. Louis is 5-2 SU in their last 7 matches on the road.
- The total went UNDER in 4 of the Cardinals’ last 5 matches on the road against the Cubs.
