The Tampa Bay Rays are making a rare trip to St. Louis, celebrating Players Weekend with their chosen nicknames on their uniforms.
The team is coming off a shutout of the Toronto Blue Jays to cap off an all-too-rare series win.
The Cardinals have lost four of five including losing a series to the San Diego Padres, which we here is hard to do. Like the Rays, they still have an outside shot at a Wild Card position. Winning this series is crucial for both teams if they hope to remain even somewhat in the race.
The Matchups:
Friday 8:15 PM: Jake Odorizzi vs Michael Wacha
Saturday 7:15 PM: Blake Snell vs Mike Leake
Sunday 2:15 PM: Chris Archer vs Lance Lynn
