Chicago C vs St. Louis

This market covers Game 2 of a four-game series between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium, scheduled for July 28 at 7:45 PM ET. The core question is which team wins the full game, with Kalshi and Polymarket also offering a wide array of player props and totals — including strikeouts and outs recorded for starting pitchers Colin Rea (Cubs) and Michael McGreevy (Cardinals), and hit/run/RBI lines for several position players, most notably Alex Bregman. The Cubs are the clear favourite across both platforms. Kalshi prices Chicago at 67.0% to win, while Polymarket sits a touch lower at 65.0% — a slim 2-point spread that signals tight cross-platform consensus. St. Louis sits at 34.0% on Kalshi and 35.0% on Polymarket, leaving very little room between the two books. The Cubs' edge appears well-grounded in recent form: Chicago pounded out 14 hits in a 7-3 win in Game 1 of this series on Monday, with Alex Bregman and Nico Hoerner each homering and recording four hits, as the Cubs have won 26 of their last 38 games and hold a 5½-game lead as the first NL wild card. On the pitching side, Tuesday's matchup features Cardinals right-hander Michael McGreevy (4-8, 3.07 ERA) against Cubs right-hander Colin Rea (7-7, 4.85 ERA). The run-total markets lean heavily toward the over — Kalshi has over 3.5 runs at 99.0% — reflecting a high-scoring environment consistent with the series opener. Both Kalshi and Polymarket are in near-lockstep on the moneyline, making this one of the tighter cross-platform spreads in the dataset.
