Shelby Miller is going to get one more start this season – that’s currently scheduled for Saturday… against John Lackey and the Cardinals. If there’s any good news in that, then it’s the thought that by then the Cards should have clinched their division, home field advantage through the NLCS, their 100th victory, and are merely just trying to insure that their starters are tuned up and ready to go in another week.
For Miller, there’s a psychological aspect to this game that goes well beyond an otherwise meaningless contest on the last weekend of the year.
