The Cardinals’ place in the 2019 postseason comes down to 3 games against the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium starting on Friday September 27th. To be entirely accurate, it comes down to 9 games, because if the Cards do not sweep the Cubs, the outcome of the the Brewers’ 3 games against the Rockies at Coors Field and the Nationals’ 3 games at home against the Indians will have an impact on the Cards’ picture.
Preliminary Considerations
The Cardinals and Nationals both have 90-69 records, and the Brewers’ record is 89-70.
