Command Analysis
The Chicago Cubs are in pretty good team form. This week they recorded a couple of wins and are now at 0.426. The Cubs can't yet move above their current 13th place in the National League table, but if they keep up their good work, they might soon crack the top 10. With a decent start against the Cardinals, the hosts will look to secure a victory in the final match (7:5, 5:14, 6:1, 4:7).
The St. Louis Cardinals have encountered difficulties on this road trip. Oliver Marmol's men are currently in 5th place in the National League standings, but they don't look more powerful or interesting than their hosts. It is now 2-2 in the series after the Cardinals leveled the score last night. It is possible for the visitors to climb up a few lines if they win the final game.
