Chicago Cubs at St Louis Cardinals Preview & Picks

Chicago are tipped to avenge last night's defeat in St Louis.

The Cubs have been on a rough run recently, but Jameson Taillon gets the start here and he has been in solid form this season, helping deliver a bunch of victories.

  • Chicago starter Jameson Taillon is 7-4 with a 3.84 ERA
  • Chicago Cubs are 6-1 in Jameson Taillon's last 7 appearances
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of Jameson Taillon's last 11 outings
  • The 2 starting pitchers have a combined ERA of 7.34

Head To Head

  • Chicago Cubs lead the all-time series 1276-1223-19
  • St Louis Cardinals won 8-2 when the two teams last met on June 23

Chicago Cubs Form

Chicago went into this road trip having been on an inconsistent run over the past couple of weeks.

The Cubs enjoyed a winning homecoming after a long road trip, beating Pittsburgh 3-2, but they failed to back that up as they lost the next meeting 2-1.

They rallied to take the next two games in the series though, beating the Pirates 2-1 and 3-2, and they then made it three-in-a-row as they downed Milwaukee, 5-4.

Chicago were unable to maintain that momentum however, losing the second game against the Brewers, 8-7.

The Cubs then hosted Seattle and sandwiched a 10-7 victory with 9-4 and 14-6 defeats to the Mariners. 

St Louis Cardinals Form

St Louis entered this series on the back of a defeat, but on a good run of form with six wins in their previous eight games.

The Cardinals endured a bad run earlier this month as they lost six straight games, before finally stopping the rot with an 8-5 win in Milwaukee.

They failed to follow that up as they lost the next meeting with the Brewers, 3-2, although they did rally on the road to wrap up that trip in positive form.

St Louis travelled to Chicago where they were able to sweep the White Sox, winning 12-2, 5-4 and 7-6.

The Cardinals then won back-to-back home games against Cincinnati, 6-1 and 6-5, before dropping the series finale to the Reds, 4-1.

Verdict

Chicago are turning to Jameson Taillon as they try to get out of their slump, and that appears to be a smart move.

Taillon has helped the Cubs to a string of victories over the past several weeks and can do it again here.
