KEY GAME INFORMATION

ST LOUIS: The division-rival Cubs grabbed headlines by signing two former Cardinals, Jason Heyward and John Lackey. Chicago has a lot of young talent but so do the Cardinals. They've won the NL Central three straight seasons and been to the playoffs a franchise- best five consecutive years, including a World Series championship in 2011 and another Series appearance in 2013. In the outfield, Stephen Piscotty, Randal Grichuk, Holliday and Tommy Pham are all capable of hitting 20 homers. Yadier Molina is on track for opening day after recovering from a pair of thumb operations. There's an abundance of quality arms in the starting rotation even though St. Louis was outbid by Boston for David Price and lost Lance Lynn to reconstructive elbow surgery. Mike Leake could provide results similar to Lackey's, and is much younger. Jaime Garcia has an array of pitches and Carlos Martinez consistently throws in the high-90s (mph).

CHICAGO CUBS: Expectations are soaring after the Cubs broke out in a huge way last season and fueled hope that their first championship since 1908 is within reach. The optimism has only escalated since the final out of Game 4 in the NLCS. That's because the Cubs added to a team that already included the NL Cy Young Award winner (Arrieta), Rookie of the Year (Kris Bryant) and Manager of the Year (Maddon), not to mention a two-time All-Star in Anthony Rizzo and another slugger in Schwarber who made a big impact as a rookie. They signed Jaosn Heyward ($184 million, eight years) and John Lackey ($32 million, two years) away from division-rival St. Louis, along with two-time All-Star Ben Zobrist ($56 million, four years) from Kansas City, and acquired Adam Warren from the Yankees in the Castro deal. They pulled off another big move when they re-signed Dexter Fowler to a $13 million, one-year contract in late February. That allowed them to keep three-time Gold Glove winner Heyward in right field rather than move him to center. For all the moves the Cubs made, they did not have to part with any of their prized prospects. That gives them depth and flexibility to make trades down the line.

PREVIEW

Cubs' Hammel takes on Cards at Wrigley

CHICAGO -- There's something about Wrigley Field that continues to bring out the best in Chicago Cubs pitcher Jason Hammel.

Hammel (15-9, 3.56 ERA) brings the second-best home ERA in baseball (1.84) into Saturday's middle game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He's also 10-1 in 14 home starts.

But whether Hammel is one of the Cubs starters in the post-season has yet to be determined.

"The way I look at it is there's no wrong choice," said Hammel earlier week after tossing a four-hit ffort over seven innings in the Cubs' 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. "We got 25 guys who are going to put up wins for us, whether it's hitting, pitching, defense. ... So we're going to continue to what we do, do our work and show up and play, and they'll put up the best team out there."

The Cubs got some critical bullpen reinforcement on Friday with the return of right-hander Pedro Strop off the disabled list following a left meniscus tear suffered last month and subsequent arthroscopic surgery.

Strop, 31, is 2-2 with 21 holds and a 2.892 ERA in 51 relief appearances with the Cubs this season.

The Cubs enter Saturday's middle game with the Cardinals needing just two victories to hit 100 for the season and are currently on a pace to secure 103.

They'll wrap up the home season on Sunday as left hander Jon Lester (18-4) meets Cardinals righty Carlos Martinez (15-8, 3.16 ERA). Lester has the second-lowest ERA in the league behind teammate Kyle Hendricks (2.06).

Chicago will hit the road next week for four games at Cincinnati and three at Pittsburgh before opening the NL playoffs next month.

The Cardinals, on the outside looking in for one of two final wild card berths, will try to break out of a two-game losing streak as Alex Reyes (3-1, 1.03 ERA) makes his 11th appearance and fourth start of the season in Saturday's middle game of the Cubs-Cardinals series.

Reyes has won his last two starts, including a Sept. 18 outing against the Giants where he allowed no runs on four hits while striking out six and walking two over seven innings in the Cardinals 3-0 victory.

It's not known whether shortstop Aledmys Diaz returns to the lineup on Saturday. He's was sidelined for the second game in the last three on Friday due to continued arm soreness. Diaz is batting .303 in 104 games with 26 doubles and 61 RBI.

Mike Holliday won't return to action on Saturday either but there's hope the veteran Cardinals outfielder could play before the season wraps up.

He took live batting practice on Friday and could have one more before the Cardinals decide whether to active him from the disable list or shut him down.

Holliday has been on the disabled list since Aug. 12 with a right thumb fracture and has missed 38 games.
