 These teams are set to play five games in three days at Wrigley Field, with the Cardinals serving as the home team in the second game of doubleheaders today and Wednesday. The Cardinals have won the season series by a 10-9 margin each of the past two years.

 Playing its first games since July 29 due to a COVID-19 outbreak, the Cardinals took two of three games from the White Sox over the weekend. Each of the Cardinals' last seven games has been decided by at least three runs.

 The Cubs lost the last three games of their four-game series with Milwaukee -- all by one run -- after opening the season 13-3. They remain the only MLB team to have scored at least two runs in every game this season.

 Since the start of the 2018 season, Anthony Rizzo is hitting .376 with six homers, 20 RBI and a 1.078 OPS in 35 games against the Cardinals. Rizzo had a .265 career average against St. Louis before 2018.

 Kyle Hendricks is 34-18 (.654) with a 2.56 ERA in his career at home. That's the third-lowest home ERA among active pitchers with at least 75 career home starts, behind Clayton Kershaw (2.17) and Jacob deGrom (2.21).

 Paul Goldschmidt and Anthony Rizzo are two of four MLB players to have at least 150 hits and 20 home runs in each of the past five seasons (2015-19), along with Nolan Arenado and Manny Machado.
