Cubs vs./@ Cardinals: Series Thread (Games 20-24)
Coming off the equivalent of an 8.1-game losing streak (1-3 series) vs. the Brewers, the Cubs now welcome their St. Louis rivals for a 5-game series at Wrigley. Featuring two double headers and two "away" games played in their home stadium, it is likely to be an early contender for weirdest series of the year. The Cardinals begin the series an unlikely second place in the division, holding a .500 record but having played fewer than half the games the Cubs have played.
There's a bit too much here for me to preview on a busy Monday morning, but here are the probable starters.
Day 1, Game 1:
CHC: RHP Kyle Hendricks
STL: LHP Kwang Hyun Kim
Day 1, Game 2:
CHC: RHP Adbert Alzolay
STL: RHP Austin Gomber
Day 2:
CHC: RHP Yu Darvish
STL: RHP Daniel Ponce de Leon
Day 3, Game 1:
CHC: RHP Colin Rea
STL: RHP Jack Flaherty
Day 3, Game 2:
CHC: RHP Alec Mills
STL: LHP Ricardo Sanchez
