The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals renew their bitter rivalry in … London.

The seven-hour trip was as unnecessary as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s frightening yellow cab ride through NYC.

And almost as long.

The Cubbies’ Justin Steele made a triumphant return after 17 days’ rest, beating the Orioles at Wrigley.

The Red Birds will go with Adam Wainwright, who has made eight starts this year, none noteworthy.

He has surrendered 27 runs on 60 hits over 43 innings, but has lost once.

The 41-year-old has 198 wins and, barring any dangerous high-speed chases through Manhattan, he will get two more before the year is over.

We’re hoping he picks up the two back in the states. $50 on the Cubs.

Patience. Waited all night for the Pirates to score.

Down 1-0, they scored three times in the ninth inning and fried the Fish 3-1.

Unlikely win has us at -887 mazeroskis.
