The Toronto Blue Jays have scored 15 runs so far in this series as their offense has been setting the tone. George Springer is leading the way with 10 home runs, but there is plenty of power in this lineup.

Eric Lauer will be starting in this matchup, and he has gone 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA this season. The Blue Jays have a tired bullpen, and Lauer needs to find a way to deliver a long start.

Matthew Liberatore is on the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals, and he has pitched well this season. Liberatore is just 3-5 on the year, but his ERA of 3.82 shows that he can shut down a lineup.

The Cardinals have been incredibly healthy all season long, and they remain consistent on offense. Look for the Cardinals to get some revenge in this matchup as they win the series finale.
