Cardinals Dominate Orioles in Stunning Showdown—What Does This Mean for the Season?
The Cardinals are one of the few teams that I feel like I’ve been pretty solid with this season. I have always had respect for St. Louis as a Cubs fan. I don’t typically like the team, but I do usually recognize that this franchise knows what they are doing when it comes to building a winning ball club. The past few years haven’t quite reflected that, but this season they are doing well. The team is 31-24 and will be the main challenger to the Cubs for winning the NL Central. If they plan to do that, they will need to get wins from guys like today’s starter, Miles Mikolas. If you’ve read me for the past few years, you’ll know I was a Mikolas supporter, almost to a fault. I fell off his bandwagon a bit last year, but he has put together a nice campaign to this point and might be getting me back on. Mikolas is 4-2 with a 3.51 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. He has pitched better on the road this season than at home, and he is currently in his best form, going 22.1 innings this month and only allowing five earned runs over four starts. Orioles hitters are hitting just 2-for-7 against Mikolas.
