St. Louis Cardinals
Southpaw Miles Mikolas will be taking the mound for the Cardinals in the upcoming game against Atlanta. In his previous outing before the break, he allowed six runs on eight hits, including four home runs, ultimately leading to a loss against the Cubs. Despite this rough performance, Mikolas had only given up one homer in his previous six starts. With a 5.13 ERA for the season, his worst in six seasons with the Cardinals, Mikolas may be at risk of losing his spot in the rotation if the team seeks additional starting pitching at the trade deadline. The Cardinals are currently just above .500 and 4+ games behind the Brewers in the division, positioning them to potentially make moves at the deadline. On the offensive side, St. Louis ranks 23rd in scoring (4.15 runs per game) and 20th in defense (4.54 runs allowed per game) with a 50-47 record for the season. Despite their struggles, they remain in the hunt for a postseason spot.
