They play in the West Division of the National League.Īs one of the oldest baseball teams, they have won the most games of any team in the history of American baseball, and any North American professional sports team. On Tuesday against Woodruff and the Brew Crew, he threw 5 scoreless innings giving up just 2 hits.The San Francisco Giants are a Major League Baseball team based in San Francisco, California. Right hander Jake Woodford has also been very solid and helped the Cardinals win recent games against Brandon Woodruff and Marcus Stroman. He is 16-7 with a 3.05 ERA and by doing more than just hanging on these last few years, he is starting earn some serious Hall of Fame talk. When they do go up against a great pitcher like Yu Darvish or Brandon Woodruff, the Cardinals always seem to have an arm of their own that stands toe-to-toe such as the legend Adam Wainwright, who has been unbelievable this year. Offensively, this team has been simply unstoppable, even against solid pitchers like Brett Anderson who they touched up for 6 runs in less than 2 innings. Dylan Carlson has been hitting the ball well. Jose Rondon has been coming through with some big hits lately. Harrison Bader is absolutely on fire right now, going 20 for his last 55. Paul DeJong, who has struggled with the bat for most of 2021 is heating up, going 4 for his last 14 with a couple bombs. Tyler O’Neil has 3 home runs in the last seven games. A rookie named Lars Nootbaar went deep twice yesterday and had 3 hits.
This duo is one of the best is baseball and they’re not slowing down.īut this Cardinals offense has been more hot than just two guys. On the day before that, the Cardinals pounded the Brewers 10-2 with these studs combining to go 5-6 with 4 RBI, 4 Runs scored, 2 doubles and a bomb. The day before that in Milwaukee, Goldschmidt hit his 29th of the year and went 3-5 with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored. In Game 2, they went 4-7 with 3 runs scored. Yesterday, the Cards won 8-5 over the Cubs and they combined to go 3-8 with 3 RBI with Goldschmidt hitting his 30th bomb of the season in Game 1 of a double-header. Starting with the obvious, they have Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado heating up at the same time. So I’m going to through a very quick recap of the last 14 games and to give an idea why this team is so dangerous. In other words, literally any team can win in this Wild Card Game. The Dodgers are 3-3 against them this year. And those games were played before they got red-hot.
#Sf giants magic number series
Keep in mind, if you’re a Giants fan like I am, the G-Men lost both series this year to the Cardinals and have a season 2-4 record against them. This is something that both the Giants and Dodgers want desperately to avoid. The Cardinals are now 5 games up on the second Wild Card and with a Magic Number of 7 are the heavy favorites to be in that game, which brings me to the elephant in the room – whoever does not win the National League West is going to have to play a one-game Wild Card against this team. Yesterday, they won their 14th consecutive game thanks in part to Jack Flaherty and Dakota Hudson, who are both returning from injury, making this club even better for the stretch run. I felt that the is team has underperformed for the majority of the season and that their talent would shine through in the last few weeks of the season and that’s exactly what’s been happening. They have won 14 games in a row and are now the new favorites to win the second Wild Card in the National League, which I predicted would happen a couple weeks ago when both the Padres and Reds were in front of them.
