The St. Louis Cardinals own a 43-23 record. They visit the 23-45 Philadelphia Phillies this weekend. Yes, you read that correctly. The Phillies have as many wins under their belt as the Cardinals have losses. Cole Hamels was originally supposed to start the series opener, but has been scratched due to a hamstring issue and not because Philadelphia traded him. Instead of Lance Lynn vs. Cole Hamels, we get Tyler Lyons vs. Phillippe Aumont.
