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
Cardinals look to continue success at Wrigley
 

CHICAGO -- The National League Central champion Chicago Cubs have lost just 24 of their 80 home games this season.

The St. Louis Cardinals have delivered six of those losses. They're 6-3 at Wrigley Field this season.

The Cardinals can steal another victory Sunday night when they play the rubber match of their three-game series against the Cubs.

With their unlikely success at the famed ballpark, the Cardinals (81-73) remain focused on the NL wild-card race. They are one-half game behind New York and San Francisco, who are tied for the top spot.

"The records and all that don't mean that much," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, whose team is 9-9 against the Cubs. "We've got a whole lot of fighting left to do."

Catcher Yadier Molina echoed that sentiment.

"We don't think about numbers," he said. "We just come here and try to win games. Obviously, we know what kind of team they are. They're obviously the best team in the league. We respect that, but at the same time, we come here thinking about winning."

The Cubs have their own goals in mind. After securing home-field advantage in the NL playoffs, the team is aiming for 100 victories.

The Cubs are 98-56 after falling 10-4 to the Cardinals on Saturday. The Cubs last won 99 games in 1935, when they reached 100 victories.

"When you start the year, you think 90 wins; that should get you to the dance pretty much," said Cubs manager Joe Maddon, who won 97 in 2008 with Tampa and last year with Chicago. "When you get a chance to do 100, that is special.

"First of all, you have to be good. Then second of all, you do have to really approach the day properly. Because we have rested our guys. Everybody has played. We've been fortunate with our starting pitching that they've been able to get their normal turn. That's probably the most important thing."

Left-hander Jon Lester, who is scheduled to start Sunday, and the rest of the Cubs rotation have been able to stay relatively healthy.

"The biggest surprise overall is health, general health," Maddon said.

"When you get a starting group that has a chance to pitch 1,000 innings or close to it among five pitchers, that's the part that's really special."

Lester (18-4, 2.36 ERA) posted his league-leading 18th victory on Tuesday when he held the Cincinnati Reds to one run in seven innings.

His ERA ranks second in the majors behind teammate -- and fellow NL Cy Young contender -- Kyle Hendricks' 2.06.

"It's a huge, huge honor to even be in consideration," Lester told reporters.

Lester also owns a nine-game winning streak and is 9-2 with a 1.86 ERA at Wrigley this season. In eight career starts against the Cardinals, he owns a 2.22 ERA. With Lester and 2015 NL Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta, the Cubs are the first NL team with two 18-game winners since the 2004 Astros and first Cubs team with such a pair since 1989.

For St. Louis, right-hander Carlos Martinez (15-8, 3.16) is scheduled to start Sunday. In his last outing, he allowed two runs in five innings against Colorado. The right-hander is 3-2 with a 4.85 ERA in 18 career games, including eight starts, against the Cubs.
