This is the biggest series of the season so far for the Cubs. Five-games with the second-place Cardinals at Wrigley this weekend. A winning series will put Chicago in excellent position to take the NL League Central.
With a doubleheader and pitching injuries piling up Adbert Alzolay will get a start and Colin Rea will open a bullpen game. The Cardinals are top heavy and that has led to an up and down season. Brad Miller and Kolten Wong did real damage last time these teams met.
I could say more, but I’m just eager to get to it. Let’s go!!!
