Both St. Louis and Chicago currently snag top spots in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 professional teams (power rankings):
Cardinals (1): "Matt Holliday went on the shelf with a strained quad and Trevor Rosenthal continues to struggle with arm tightness, but with Randal Grichuk (.315 OBP, .597 SLG) and Kevin Siegrist (12.46 K/9, 1.78 ERA, 2.90 FIP), respectively, filling their shoes, it's fittingly been enough to keep the Cardinals more than 20 games over .500. -- Matt Philip (@fungoes), Fungoes
St. Louis now holds an impressive 48-24 winning record and remains 1st in the National League Central Division.
Cubs (10): "On June 22nd, 2015, the Cubs are 37-30. On June 22nd, 2014, the Cubs were 31-42. What a difference a year makes." Joe Aiello, View from the Bleachers
With that, Chicago snags 39 wins and 32 losses and is now 3rd in the National League Central Division.
The ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels FSMW, WLS, and MLBN.
