What to watch for:

1. Can Cardinals pitchers right the ship?

After the Cardinals' pitching was lights-out for the majority of the month of May, it's been a rough last week or so. In their last six games, the Cardinals are allowing an average of nearly seven runs per game. Their starters haven't been able to go deep into games, and the bullpen has looked shaky to say the least.

2. Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers stars

It's no secret that this Dodgers' lineup is absolutely loaded. Alongside Shohei Ohtani are former MVP winners Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, as well as Will Smith, who will likely be the NL's starting catcher in this year's All-Star Game. In 12 career games vs St. Louis, Ohtani is hitting .275 with two homers.

3. Michael McGreevy returns?

With the starting pitching seemingly on the ropes and the Cardinals playing 13 games in 13 days, manager Oli Marmol has hinted at going back to a six-man rotation. With Sunday's starter still yet to be announced, it seems likely McGreevy will be making his return to the big leagues this weekend. McGreevy has shined is his brief time at the major league level, posting a 1.57 ERA over 28.2 IP.
