NL Central Titans Set to Unleash Unstoppable Offense—Can Anyone Keep Up?
The Cubs are one of the best teams in baseball and that’s not something that you can say regularly about this club. They are playing well not only at home, but on the road. Perhaps most impressive is that the team has done the bulk of their damage without two-thirds of the rotation they expected to have this season. They are without Justin Steele all year, and Shota Imanaga has been out for most of the year as well. Imanaga will be back soon, but the Cubs staff has done a surprisingly effective job this year, and they have one of the best bullpens. Their starter today, Jameson Taillon, has been one of the foundational pieces in their rotation. For the year, the right-hander is 7-4 with a 3.84 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. He has been worse on the road this season, but still has managed to deliver decent performances in most games. He has put up a quality start in three of his past four road outings. The Cardinals have done a good job of hitting Taillon in the past, going 40-for-128.Â
