It is an incredible achievement that the Cardinals have made the playoffs in 2020. The depth and resilience of the team has been tested, and the Cardinals have managed to hold up well enough to play baseball into October. However, their first match-up with the Padres is a tough one. The Padres posted the second best record in the National League at 37-23 and their lineup had the third highest wRC+ in the National League (115). However, the Cardinals may be capable of causing an upset and winning the series, especially since they must only win two games.
