Game Preview
The decisive game of the series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves on Sunday carries significant playoff implications.
The teams each took a win in Saturday’s doubleheader; Atlanta won the first game 3-2 in extra innings, while St. Louis came out on top in the second game, 9-5.
A victory for Atlanta on Sunday would even the season series at three games apiece. However, a win for St. Louis would give the Cardinals a 4-2 advantage in the season series, providing them with a potential tiebreaker should the teams finish the regular season tied.
Currently, Atlanta is 3 1/2 games ahead of St. Louis in the chase for the top National League wild-card spot.
The series and season finale will feature a matchup of right-handed pitchers. St. Louis sends veteran Miles Mikolas (7-8, 5.13 ERA) to the mound, who is looking to rebound from a loss to the Chicago Cubs on July 14 where he gave up six runs and four homers. Mikolas has a 2-4 record with a 3.89 ERA in his career against Atlanta.
On the other side, Atlanta’s rookie Spencer Schwellenbach (3-4, 4.43) has secured his spot as the team’s fifth starter since his call-up from Double-A Mississippi in May. He’s coming off a strong performance against the San Diego Padres on July 12, allowing just one run over seven innings. Schwellenbach previously faced the Cardinals on June 24, yielding four runs in a 4-3 defeat.
Both managers have expressed confidence in their teams, highlighting the strengths of their pitching staffs as they head into this pivotal game.
