There is less than a month left in the season and the Central champion looks pretty clear, but as we saw in 2018, strange things can happen.
St. Louis Cardinals
- They continued their hot streak this week with a 5-3 week and are 3.5 up on the division with an 80-62 record.
- Jack Flaherty has a 0.85 ERA in the second half. A big reason for their surge has been the starting pitching and young arms like Flaherty are certainly helping matters.
- Rangel Ravelo, who had been in the minors for 10 years prior to this season, hit his first major league home run against the Giants on Thursday.
