When I think of a Phillies-versus-Cardinals series, nothing good comes to mind. I think of squirrels, torn Achilles tendons, and Adam Wainwright. With any luck, only one of those will occur as the Phillies play four games in St. Louis to kick off the week.
The Teams Coming Into the Series
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals (11-10) are coming off a clean three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds this past weekend. They stand two games back from the Milwaukee Brewers (13-8) in the NL Central and have been 5-4 at home so far this season.
