Chicago Cubs

<think> Okay, let's take a look at this market question. The user is asking about the outcome of a St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs game on August 14, 2026. The market closed shortly after 9 PM UTC that day, but the current time is the next day, around 1:24 AM UTC. The resolution criteria depend on whether the game was completed, postponed, or not, and who won based on the final score. Resolver 1 says the game was completed, with the Cubs winning 3-0. They reference ESPN's boxscore showing the Cubs had 3 runs and the Cardinals 0, with a recorded decision (W/L and save). Resolver 2 also confirms the game was final, not postponed, and the same score. Both resolvers point to the same outcome: Cubs win. The key points here are that both resolvers independently found evidence from ESPN that the game was played to completion with the Cubs victory. The market's resolution criteria specify that if the game is not postponed and has a final result, the winner is determined by who has more runs. The score is clearly in favor of the Cubs. I need to check if there's any conflicting information. Both resolvers agree on the score and the outcome. The game wasn't postponed, so the 'Postponed' option doesn't apply. No other sources were mentioned, but the ESPN boxscore is a credible and official source. There's no indication that the game was suspended or that any other issues affected the result. Since the resolution time hasn't been specified beyond the market's close, and the game was completed before the current time (which is after the market close), the evidence supports resolving the market in favor of the Chicago Cubs. No disagreements between the resolvers, both evidence is solid. Therefore, the answer should be option 1. </think> ANSWER: Chicago Cubs
