MLB's London Series: Cubs and Cardinals Face Off in Transformed Stadium.

Murray Cook, MLB's field consultant, was tasked with transforming London Stadium into a baseball field for the Cubs and Cardinals game. Cook modified the shape of the field to find extra footage and sculpted the field with aggregate and turf. The turf was rigorously inspected to ensure safety and consistency with a Major League ballpark. Cook's top priority was safety, from the padding to the foul poles, to ensure the field is safe for players.

MLB's London Series: Preview, FAQ, and Broadcast Info.

The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals will play a two-game set at London Stadium this weekend, with the venue's dimensions and playing surface being the storyline for fantasy baseball. The stadium is expected to be a hitting-friendly environment, significantly more so than if these games had been played at St. Louis' Busch Stadium. Fantasy managers should start all their Cubs and Cardinals hitters, especially those they would have otherwise, and avoid the starting pitchers assigned to work in that series. Other weekend storylines include the rematch of the "cheater" World Series between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Atlanta Braves-Cincinnati Reds showdown of first-place teams.
