+155<\/span>O\/U: 9.5
(-110\/-110)<\/span>-175<\/span><\/div>\n

As the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals meet for the second game of their series at Wrigley Field on September 27, 2025, both teams bring contrasting narratives into this matchup. The Cubs, at 90-70, are enjoying a solid season, while the Cardinals sit at 78-82, marking an average year. Yesterday, the Cubs triumphed, showcasing their strong offense, which ranks 9th in MLB, against a struggling Cardinals team ranked 23rd offensively.<\/p>\n

On the mound, the Cubs are expected to start Jameson Taillon, whose season has been marked by inconsistency. With a Win\/Loss record of 10-7 and a respectable ERA of 3.78<\/a>, Taillon’s advanced statistics tell a different story. He ranks 161st among starting pitchers, and with a projected average of 5.3 innings pitched today, he may need to exceed his projections to help his team secure another win. Taillon’s high flyball rate (42% FB) plays into his favor against a Cardinals offense that has struggled to generate power this season.<\/p>\n

Opposing him will be Michael McGreevy, who has been more effective with an 8-3 record and ERA of 4.35<\/a>, ranking him 87th among pitchers. Despite this, his projections indicate that he may face challenges against a Cubs lineup that thrives on power; the Cubs rank 7th in home runs, boasting 218 this season. <\/p>\n

With the Cubs favored at -170 and an implied team total of 5.05 runs, the stage is set for a compelling contest. Look for the Cubs’ offense to exploit McGreevy’s low strikeout rate against a lineup known for limiting strikeouts, potentially solidifying their standing as they push towards the playoffs.<\/p>\n

  • \n
    <\/strong><\/div>\n
    The St. Louis Cardinals have 4 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jordan Walker, Jimmy Crooks, Thomas Saggese, Nolan Gorman).<\/div>\n
