Get Chicago Cubs vs St. Louis Cardinals predictions, picks, and odds for 5-25, plus MLB best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
The Cubs are slumping, but with Miles Mikolas set to serve up what ails the Chicago bats, our MLB picks are fading the Cardinals tonight as slight favorites.
After losing two straight and the series to the Atlanta Braves, Chicago will enter tonight amid a slump, but my Cardinals vs. Cubs predictions think a bounce-back game is on deck., which has had two losses in his last three starts, along with metrics that say his best years are behind him.Naturally, given the perceived pitching advantage, you'd expect the Cubs to be favored, but that's not the case.
This Cubs lineup should have plenty of power to attack Mikolas' most significant issue: the hard-hit ball. The metrics haven't been kind to Chicago lately in this recent slump, but you must chalk up some of that to rough variance.all rank in the Top 20% of baseball in hard-hit rate. That's a troubling problem for Mikolas as he'll enter this matchup ranking in the Bottom 20% of that metric.
Hoerner has had nice success historically against Mikolas with a batting average that exceeds .300, and that makes sense. He'll enter this matchup with the highest hard-hit rate and second-highest run value against the slider — Mikolas’ most preferred pitch. I like him to continue his success here for a nice payoff.The Cubs have dominated this head-to-head series historically. Chicago has won eight of the last 10, and four of the last five wins have come by at least two runs.
