The Cubs and the Cardinals have their final meeting before the 2021 trade deadline--with the Cubs looking to become big-time sellers and the at this point stubbornly holding on to potential free agents (Molina, Wainwright, Miller, and Kim). They'll start the series tied and nine full games behind the Brewers, two behind the Reds. The Wild Card outlook is not much better. See below for the projected matchups (to-be updated when possible).
Game 94, Monday, July 19, 7:15 pm central
CHC: RHP Alec Mills (4-2, 4.84 ERA)
STL: RHP Jake Woodford (1-1, 4.62 ERA)
Mills earned a win before the break despite allowing three earned runs to the Phillies.
