25, do you think the starting pitching is going to get worse than it has been? The reason I ask is that even with a loss tonight, the Cards will be on track for 95 wins. That is a clear playoff pace.

No, I don’t think so. I think it will get a bit better. But the offense and bullpen have both outperformed what I expect will be their level the rest of the season, IMO.

Despite the good pace, a loss tonight leaves the Cards tied for the Wild Card and one game in front of Milwaukee. Given the lack of tanking teams in the NL, they might need to maintain that 95 win pace as 91-92 wins might be sitting at home this year.
