Sunday's Probable Pitchers

Cardinals: RHP Sonny Gray (10-5, 4.21)

The former first-round pick and three-time All-Star is always dangerous. He is coming off a no-decision against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. But he was terrific, as he allowed one hit, one run and one walk against eight strikeouts.

He is underwater in his last seven starts, with a 2-3 record and a 6.49 ERA. The Cubs may be catching him at the right time.

He has 141 strikeouts and 21 walks in 128.1 innings. Baters are hitting .259 against him and he has a WHIP of 1.17.

Cubs: LHP Shota Imanaga (8-4, 3.12)

Even after spending more than a month on the injured list with a hamstring pull, the Japanese left remains the rotation’s best starting pitcher.

He absorbed a no-decision against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday, as he gave up three hits, one earned run and no walks in 6.1 innings while he struck out seven. The Cubs went on to lose the game.

He is 4-2 with a 3.86 ERA in his last seven starts. For the campaign he has 70 strikeouts and 17 walks in 89.1 innings. He allowed batters to hit .217 against him and he has a 1.00 WHIP.
