The St. Louis Cardinals finally got back on track yesterday by blanking the Chicago Cubs, 5-0. Tonight they will head to Citizens Bank Park for the first game of a 3-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies. The Cardinals will have Miles Mikolas tapping the rubber and he has been delivering. Mikolas is 7-2, with a 2.43 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and St. Louis is 5-1 in his last 6 road starts. The Phillies will turn to Nick Pivetta to throw strikes and he hasn’t been doing that. He is 4-6, with a 4.25 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, and Philadelphia is 0-4 in his last 4 starts. The Cardinals have dominated the Phillies, winning 17 of the last 23 meetings.
