Justin Steele had perhaps his worst outing in his last appearance against the Boston Red Sox, but this doesn't erase that he is probably the best pitcher on the Chicago Cubs (yes, even over Marcus Stroman).
Steele will toss for the Cubs on Friday in a division rivalry game with the St. Louis Cardinals, who will start Jack Flaherty on the mound. Flaherty may induce weaker-than-average contact, but outside of three starts in July, he has been pretty weak on the season.
While the Cardinals' hitters have thrived against lefties, the Cubs have matched those impressive numbers against right-handed pitchers in the last month. Consequently, Steele and the Cubs' bullpen should give Chicago an edge in this matchup on Friday.
