Chicago Cubs

Cubs (46-31) VS Cardinals (42-36)

Jun 24, 2025 | 7:45 PM ET | Busch Stadium, St. Louis

St. Louis Cardinals
Moneyline Pick - Chicago Cubs (-120): A-

The Chicago Cubs head into St. Louis riding a two-game losing streak, while the Cardinals have won seven of their last ten but have been yo-yoing all season. The pitching matchup gives the edge to Chicago, with their right-handed starter in strong form and supported by a bullpen ranked among the league’s best in WHIP. St. Louis counters with a young arm who has been shaky of late, and their lineup feels lighter with key bats missing. With the Cubs holding a clear edge in run differential and recent form, the prediction here is a Cubs win.

Given how both teams are shaping up right now, the Cubs just seem to have more going for them. Even if they're dealing with a few lineup absences, their depth and bullpen reliability give them a leg up, especially in late innings. St. Louis has the home crowd, but the momentum just isn’t there. With the divisional stakes climbing by the game, backing the team that’s rolling and more stable on the mound feels like the smart bet, earning the prediction an A- grade.

Over/Under Pick - Over 9, (-110): B

The Cubs, riding a downtick in form, face a Cardinals squad that comes in on a 7-3 run. Injuries have impacted both lineups, leading to adjustments and opportunities for other players to step up. With both teams nearing the halfway mark of the season, each game carries more weight in the Wild Card and Divisional races. Considering the taxed bullpens and the offensive capabilities of both lineups, the prediction leans towards a high-scoring affair.

Looking at this matchup, it's clear that both teams are dealing with roster adjustments and bullpen fatigue. The Cubs' recent offensive momentum, combined with the Cardinals' need to rebound, suggests that both teams will be aggressive at the plate. Given these factors, it's reasonable to expect a game where runs come in bunches. So, the prediction here is a high-scoring contest, with a B grade to go with it.

Spread Pick - Chicago Cubs, -1.5 (+140): B+

Chicago enters the matchup with a strong offensive performance, while St. Louis has experienced recent struggles, despite a great overall run. The Cubs' lineup remains potent despite injuries, and their bullpen has been reliable. In contrast, the Cardinals are dealing with key injuries in their bullpen, impacting their late-game effectiveness.

Considering the current form and depth of both teams, the Cubs seem poised to capitalize on the Cardinals' vulnerabilities. Even with some lineup absences, Chicago's consistency and bullpen strength give them an edge. St. Louis's bullpen issues and recent performance suggest challenges in containing the Cubs' offense. Therefore, the prediction is that Chicago will cover the run line, with a B+ grade to go with the prediction. Continue following us for more expert picks and bets.
