If someone had asked me in April who would be leading the N.L. Central by the end of August, I’d have hoped for the Cubs, but admitted that perhaps the Brewers might have made a run for it. There was no way I would have predicted the latter half run the Cardinals have made, or that they would take the number one spot in the division by August 26.
Let’s have a look at last week, and what’s to come, to see if this is a short-lived claim, or if the Cubs should worry.
St Louis Cardinals 71-58
The Cardinals have been on a heck of a tear lately, going 8-2 over their last 10 games.
