The Cubs (36-38) continue to play excellent baseball of late, completing another sweep of the Pirates in Pittsburgh to move within two games of the .500 mark. Chicago has won 10 of their last 12 and they look to keep the good times rolling during a very unusual two–game series against the Cardinals in London this weekend.
The games will be played at a converted soccer stadium normally occupied by West Ham United football club. There is no word if Nathan “Wonder Kid” Shelley, Coach Beard, or Roy Kent will be in attendance or not.
Both teams were given two consecutive off days to make the trip, so the bullpens should be rested.
