FanIQ Series Prediction Poll - Chicago Cubs @ St. Louis Cardinals (7/4-7/6)

It's a battle atop the National League as the Chicago Cubs head to Busch Stadium to play the St. Louis Cardinals.  These two teams met once earlier this year in St. Louis, with the Cardinals taking 2 of 3 games against there rivals.  The Cubs currently lead the division by a couple games and are in the middle of long road trip that started in San Francisco.  There record at home is the best in the majors at 23 games over .500 but on the road, they are 7 games under the even mark.  The Cardinals have battled and stayed float in the division despite having 17 guys be on the DL.  They are one of the better home teams in the league and will be looking to cut into the deficit and move closer to the top of the division.  Can the Cardinals pull closer to the Cubs, or will the boys from the Chi-town be able to push there lead bigger in the division
