The Cubs will face their biggest rivals at the end of a 10-game home stretch this week, playing the St. Louis Cardinals for a two-game series.

Expect more traffic Tuesday and Wednesday as these series tend to draw additional fans to the area.

After a splitting against the Padres, the Cubs start the week with a Sunday afternoon game against the Reds at 1:20 p.m.

On Monday, they'll host the Rangers for a make-up game from the rainout on April 17.

With an 11-17 record and six games back in the NL Central, the team is lucky to have a home field advantage against the division leaders.
