With both Angel Reese and Caitlyn Clark out, the allure of this rivalry has simmered down, and we expect the Fever may not be as focused after dominating this season long matchup.  Hoping to score their first head-to-head victory this season, we like the Sky to keep it close and cover the spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Play: Sky +10.5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chicago Cubs @ St. Louis Cardinals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-2-1024x414.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-2-1024x414.png 1024w, https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-2-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-2-768x311.png 768w, https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-2-1536x621.png 1536w, https:\/\/themoneyballer.com\/access\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-2-2048x828.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardinals, slight underdogs in today&#8217;s matchup, have a Baller Matchup Rating of &#8216;8&#8217;.
