The St. Louis Cardinals, fresh off a series win against the Chicago Cubs, came into last week feeling pretty high. They were winners of eight of their last nine games heading into their series against the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants. The best part? The Cardinals were in sole possession of first place in the Central Division.
As I mentioned in my May schedule piece, the Cubs series was a must win for the Cardinals. They needed to win it to gain some ground in the Central. Although I didn’t predict the Cardinals to win the series, they managed to take it to their North-Town Rivals.
