The St. Louis Cardinals will take on the Chicago Cubs in game four of thier five-game series. The Cards will look to put some distance between themselves and the Milwaukee Brewers in the race for the NL Central crown They will send Miles Mikolas to the mound to face the Cubs. He has posted a 10-9 record this season with a 3.32 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. He is 3-0 against the Cubs this season with a career of 2.22 ERA. The Cubs will counter with Luke Farrell. It will be his first start for the Cubs. Last season with the Twins, he posted a 1-1 record with a 4.74 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP in just over 24 innings. He has posted a 4.93 ERA in his 87.2 career innings pitched in the big leagues. At Triple-A this season he has a 5.03 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. The Cubs are 2-9 in their last 11 games when playing at home against St. Louis. The Cardinals are 5-1 in their last six games on the road and 9-1 in their last ten games. The Cardinals are fighting to stay first in the NL Central, while the Cubs can only play a spoiler role against their rivals. The Card's bats have been hot and should stay that way against Farrell, who has not been great in the minors this year. Give me the team with the better offense, pitching, and with something to play for.

Play on St Louis on the run-line
