Why the St. Louis Cardinals Will Win the NL Wild Card

The St. Louis Cardinals are just a half game out of first place in the NL Wild Card. This team has made last season runs before and can do it again this season.

The Cardinals have struggled as of late, losing their last two games by a combined score of 16-1. However, they are not the team that struggles most out of the three teams in the race.

That would be the San Francisco Giants. The Giants have the worst record in baseball since the MLB All-Star Break ended back in July. If the Cardinals meet up with the Giants in the NL Wild Card game on Oct. 4, the Cardinals could have a good chance at advancing to the NLDS.
