Covering MLB with a focus on the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals
There is no doubt about the task that lies ahead for the Cardinals in starting their playoff push with the Pittsburgh Pirates. But Cardinals are primed to leave nothing off the table in taking down their most persistent foe.
With the playoffs coming up, and some great lefties on the horizon like Francisco Liriano and Clayton Kershaw, I want to study how successful The Cardinals really are against lefties.
Regardless of what has happened in the past, the Pirates this year are a team playing over their heads. Players who have struggled in the past don’t all just suddenly become good, do they?
Have you noticed just how many ridiculously brilliant pitching performances there have been since the All-Star break?
Currently, the Kansas City Royals sit at 29-35 and 5 games out of 1st place in the American League Central.
Continuing our AL Central series, take a look at the Twins and the Royals in 2011.
