Cubs (71-68) @ To be announced
Cardinals (69-68)
Scouting Report:
Cubs: Hill sustained his first loss in his last start against the Brewers. The lefty entered the game with the best ERA in the NL but Prince Fielder hit a two-run homer off him for more runs in one swing than Hill had given up in 25 previous innings. Hill struck out five. "He's been dominant," Milwaukee's Kevin Mench said of Hill.
Cardinals: Wells' numbers remain a bit deceiving. He's certainly pitched well enough to be 2-3 or 3-2, and his ERA was skewed by a very rough game in his last outing. After getting knocked around by the Reds, this time he gets a more manageable assignment. While Cincinnati has always hit Wells, he's pitched well against the Cubs throughout his career -- a 3.06 lifetime ERA against them.
It would be nice if it was like this now.
