Today will feature one of the shortest slates of the season with just five games, two of which will be played in Detroit for a doubleheader between the Angels and Tigers. I will be focusing on two for today's column: Nationals-Mets and Cubs-Cardinals.
In his first season in MLB, Kodai Senga has emerged as one of the top strikeouts artists in the MLB. Tonight, we may have a favorable line for him.
Last weekend, the Cubs took three of four games from the Cardinals in Chicago. The Cardinals will be looking to return the favor as star Paul Goldschmidt came alive in Arizona. However, the Cubs will send its top starter Justin Steele to the mound and will be bringing a hot offense into St. Louis.
