The Cubs come into this matchup in desperate need of a big win after dropping their last two games against the Giants over the weekend. Chicago now sits 41-60 overall with a 21-28 road record.

They’ll look for their 27-year old right hander Keegan Thompson to lead them to a victory. In Thompson’s 21 starts this season, he’s 8-4 over with a 3.16 ERA and 82 strikeouts. He’s faced St. Louis 7 times in the last two seasons and has a 1-0 record with a 4.20 ERA.

St. Louis will have their veteran right hander Adam Wainwright get the start. Wainwright has a record of 7-8 with an ERA of 3.28 and 99 strikeouts in 20 starts this season.

He has went up against the Cubs a total of 54 times in his career and is 17-13 overall with a 3.89 ERA. In Wainwright’s last start on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, he gave up only 1 run and struck out 8 batters over 7 innings.
