Central Intelligence: A Look Around the Division for the Week of May 7th

The season is a little over a month old, so injuries and talent are starting to take over for some teams. Here is a quick look at the week that was in the NL Central.

St. Louis Cardinals

  • Posted a 5-1 record, bringing them to 20-15. The Cardinals have overtaken first place in the Central, due in large part to winning 17 of 23 games.
  • Jedd Gyorko has been the Cardinals’ MVP so far this year, posting a robust 1.029 OPS with seven home runs.
  • Seung Hwan Oh has now converted 10 straight save opportunities after blowing the save on Opening Night against the Cubs.
