\"St.St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago Cubs (Image Source: Getty) The two rivals \u2014 St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs- are set to renew their historic rivalry tonight in St. Louis at Busch Stadium, first pitch at 7:45 p.m. A long-awaited midyear matchup between two teams battling for position in the National League Central will have both squads bringing their intensity on this evening. The Cubs come into St. Louis having won four out of six, and the Cardinals are trying to get on a roll and bounce back from a slow start to the month. Expect drama, power, and emotion as two of the American League’s hottest teams square off in what should be a thrilling series.<\/p>\n

Predicted lineup and key players<\/p>\n

Jameson Taillon will oppose the Cubs. Taillon has been solid for the Cubs, going 7\u20134 with a 3.84 ERA until getting blown up for five earned runs across six innings in his last start. He’ll be aiming to bounce back against a Cardinals lineup that has been hot and cold this season. Pete Crow-Armstrong, who belted his 21st home run of the season, and Seiya Suzuki, who continued to hit in clutch situations, will once again play vital roles in the Cubs’ offense. Carson Kelly adds a strong punch to the lineup, even after his cycle back in March.On the other side, Michael McGreevy will be making his fourth start with the Cardinals. He’s 1\u20131 with a 2.70 ERA so far and has looked good in limited time on the mound. Willson Contreras will be back as well, filling a hybrid role on offense as the designated hitter and first baseman this season, with 500+ RBIS, through June. <\/p>\n
