Jordan Walker has been one of the Cardinals' most productive hitters this season and gets a favorable matchup against Jordan Wicks, who was shelled for eight runs on nine hits in his last start. Wicks has yet to record more than 15 outs in an outing this year and should be on a short leash if he runs into trouble again.

Matthew Liberatore's strikeout numbers look solid, but he's still allowed 23 hits and 11 runs across just 14 2/3 innings. That's a concern against a Cubs lineup that ranks second in OBP and has enough power throughout the order to capitalize on scoring chances.

Pete Crow-Armstrong had a big game on Saturday, going 4-for-5, homering and keeping up a running taunting dialogue with the St. Louis fans. Once he’s fired up, he generally stays that way. Of his 48 career home runs, 12 have come within a day of a previous blast. PCA has a five-game hitting streak and is hitting .364 with .917 OPS over that stretch. His seven homers against the Cardinals are the most against any team, and his three homers at Busch match his highest in any visiting park.

Junior Caminero continues to crush the baseball, hitting .409 over the last week with 13 home runs on the season. Ryan Weathers has allowed all eight of his homers this year to right-handed batters, which sets up well for the powerful Tampa Bay slugger.

Drew Rasmussen vs. the New York Yankees is a mismatch on paper — the righty is 4-1 with a 1.03 ERA and 51 punchouts in eight career games against New York. Coming off a thrilling comeback win on Friday, the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays are primed to keep the foot on the gas behind their dynamic arm to create more separation in the AL East.
