Key Storylines

Pitching Form

• Matthew Boyd has been impressive, with an 8-3 record and 2.65 ERA, allowing fewer hits than strikeouts this season. He aims to shut down the Cardinals in this game.
• Erick Fedde has struggled with a 4.56 ERA and 1.424 WHIP. With a 3-8 record, the Cardinals need more from him to close the gap with the Cubs in the NL Central standings.

Bullpen Usage

Pitching has been a weakness for both teams in this series. With 14 combined runs in the first two games, the bullpens must step up to limit the offenses in this matchup.

• The Cubs have won 7 of their last 10 games and boast a 29-16 home record this season.
• The Cardinals are 4-6 in their last 10 games, with a 22-25 road record in 2025.
