Tonight’s MLB slate serves up more than just Cubs vs. Cardinals — we’ve got playoff-positioning drama across multiple parks.
Cubs vs. Cardinals (7:15 PM)
Justin Steele’s 2.85 ERA meets a Cards lineup that struggles against high-spin fastballs. Chicago is 12-5 in Steele’s last 17 starts.
Phillies vs. Rangers (7:15 PM)
A potential World Series preview? The Phillies’ rotation has a 3.11 ERA since July 1, but they face a Texas offense that ranks top 3 in OPS since the break.
Mets vs. Brewers (7:10 PM)
New York is hot at the plate, averaging 5.7 runs per game over the last week. Milwaukee’s Freddy Peralta has struck out 10+ in three of his last five starts.
Dodgers vs. Blue Jays (9:10 PM)
Two powerhouse lineups collide. LA is slugging .527 at home since July, while Toronto’s Chris Bassitt has quietly allowed three or fewer runs in six straight starts.
Playoff pulse: With roughly 50 games left, the Wild Card race is tightening — even a single series swing can shift October projections. Bettors are eyeing totals tonight, as several matchups feature top-10 offenses against shaky middle relief.
