The Cubs recently moved ahead of the Cardinals in the NL Central, while the Astros are struggling with a 14-28 record since a strong start, primarily due to injuries to key players like Hunter Brown and Carlos Correa. The Cubs will face Houston’s top three pitchers this series, including Spencer Arrighetti, but the Astros’ offense has faltered, scoring under two runs per game in May. Analysts suggest the Cubs should aim to exploit the Astros’ weak bullpen and starter struggles, predicting a Cubs series win. After this series, the Cubs will face the Pirates in a four-game matchup.
