At 7:10 ET, my NL Central GOW is on the St. Louis Cardinals. Don't count out the Cardinals yet! Milwaukee is now up 3.5 games on the Cubs in the NL Central but the Cardinals have narrowed the gap. They're only 2 games back of the Cubs. Even the Pirates and Reds are still within striking distance. This division is still very much up for grabs. Things will get even more congested after the Cardinals win again tonight.

Assad has been really good for Chicago. Gray has also been really good though and he goes deeper into games and stikes out more batters. At home, Gray is a special 3-1 with a 1.12 ERA and 0.833 WHIP. Gray has a 2.98 ERA in 11 starts against Chicago. Other than one sub-par game at Wrigley in 2020, he allowed 3 or fewer earned runs in every one of those starts. As a matter of fact, he allowed 2 or fewer runs in 9 of the 11 games, each of the past 3. Play on St. Louis.
