The Cubs currently sit atop the National League Central with a strong record of 53-36, while the Cardinals are in the mix with a respectable 48-42 mark. Both teams are coming off a tightly contested game yesterday, where the Cubs fell to the Cardinals by a score of 8-6, marking a tough loss for Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Boyd is slated to take the mound for the Cubs. He has been impressive this season, boasting an 8-3 record and an exceptional ERA of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">2.65<\/a>. Boyd&#8217;s advanced Power Rankings position him as the 40th best starting pitcher in MLB, indicating he is a reliable option for Chicago. In his last start on July 1, he went 7 innings with only 2 earned runs, showcasing his ability to navigate opposing lineups effectively.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side, the Cardinals will counter with Erick Fedde, who has struggled this season with a 3-8 record and a <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.56<\/a> ERA. Fedde has been prone to giving up runs, as evidenced by his last outing where he allowed 7 earned runs over just 5 innings. His high walk rate of 10.3% could be problematic against a Cubs lineup that ranks 2nd in MLB for drawing walks.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the Cubs are thriving, ranking 4th in MLB overall and 5th in batting average. Their best hitter has been on fire recently, recording a .524 batting average over the last week, contributing significantly to their offensive success. In contrast, the Cardinals&#8217; offense ranks a middling 15th overall and has struggled to find consistency.<\/p>\n<p>With the Cubs being favored at -205 and an implied team total of 4.39 runs, they appear well-positioned to bounce back and capitalize on their strong home advantage against a struggling Cardinals squad.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">St. Louis Cardinals Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Erick Fedde &#8211; Over\/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-140\/+110)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are generally a pitcher&#8217;s least effective pitch.
