Tonight at 6:45 p.m. ET on TBS the Cardinals (100-62) will take on the Cubs (97-65) in Game 1 of the National League Division series, which can be live streamed free by clicking this link. The Cardinals will send veteran John Lackey (13-10, 2.77 ERA) to the mound against Jon Lester (11-12, 3.34 ERA).
Cardinals fans can listen to the game on KMOX 1120, while Cubs fans will find the radio broadcast on WGN 720.
Lester has a reputation as a big-game hurler from his days with the Red Sox, but Lackey was also a key member of Boston's World Series winning 2013 team. Lackey said he is not shocked to be opposing Lester this fall.
"I'd like to say I was surprised, but I'm not," Lackey said Thursday. "He's good. No accident people running into each other this time of year."
Lester has faced the Cardinals four times this year, and although he's posted a poor 1-3 record, he has posted a 2.59 ERA against them. Lackey is 2-0 vs. the Cubs, with a 1.25 ERA over 21 2/3 innings.
