The Chicago Cubs continue their push for the NL Central when they take on NL Central rivals the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs will send Justin Steele to the mound to face off against Miles Mikolas. Steele is 10-3 this season with a 2.95 ERA while Mikolas is 6-5 with a 4.33 ERA. The Cubs have beaten the Cardinals in five of the nine games played this season. The Cubs come into this one having won five in a row. Steele has gone 1-1 over his last three starts with a 5.40 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. The Cardinals have lost five of their last six games. Over his last three starts, Mikolas is 1-0 with a 5.14 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. Mikolas struggled in his start against the Cubs last week, giving up five runs and 11 hits in five innings. He has an ERA just under 5 at home this season and has posted just 2 wins at Busch. Steele limited the cards to two earned runs on six hits while striking out nine in 6.1 innings last month. of work. The Cardinals are ranked 26th in the league in team ERA at home with 4.59. The Cubs are red-hot at the moment and are pushing for a playoff spot. Their offense has been improving and I like them to get the win with Steele on the mound.
