The St. Louis Cardinals have their backs against the wall. Whoever wins Friday moves on to face the Dodgers and it’s all on Jack Flaherty.
As I am writing this at about noon on Friday morning, the St. Louis Cardinals don’t know who they will be facing when first pitch comes at 6:08 pm CT on Friday night.
