CHC vs SLC Dream11 Match Prediction: Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals kick start the three-game head-to-head mini-series in MLB with the first game set to be played at Wrigley Field on late Friday night (IST). There’s a belief within the MLB fraternity that the Chicago Cubs are punching above their weight. That their current 35-27 record hides the fact that they are not a good baseball team. But there’s another facet to Cubs season. Cubs may lack the profile and may not be the bookers’ favourite, but they are at least showing that when players play as a team, they are a force to be reckoned with and that’s what the Cubs have been doing so far this season. This three-game mini-series against St. Louis Cardinals is a good opportunity for the Cubs to show that they mean business this season.

It seems that the whole MLB faction, other than the Chicago Cubs and their fan base, of course, want to see the Cubs fail. It’s an unanswered question why Chicago Cubs are sitting second in NL Central with a 35-27 record. St. Louis Cardinals have lost their mojo in the last few games. The whole team will be feeling a bit more light after snapping a seven-game skid with the 8-2 win over Cleveland Indians in the last match. With the confidence back and players feeling better, we back the Cardinals to win this game against the Cubs.
