- Analysis
- The Cubs were shut out 7-0 on Thursday while the Cardinals rested. St. Louis has taken its last two games, three of its previous four, and seven of its last 10. They also won two of three at Wrigley Field in July. Liberatore isn’t always consistent, but he can pitch effectively. In his most recent road outing he threw six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit, striking out seven and walking one. His career ERA against the Cubs stands at a solid 3.76. Holmes had a rough Cubs debut last Saturday, giving up four runs on six hits in four innings in a 6-3 loss to the Royals. It marked his return to the majors after a long recovery from an injury suffered on May 15; he later acknowledged he “wasn’t quite sharp enough.” Against the Cardinals he carries a 5.28 ERA. Play St. Louis run-line.
