Cards got hot down the stretch, which of course, was just at the right time. They finished the regular season 20 games over .500 and had/have one of the hottest pitchers in biesbols in Jack Flaherty. Them being in this position doesn't surprise me. Well obviously it doesn't because I've been saying Cards/Yankees all season. It's fate.
On a related note, if one of these match ups has Scherzer and Wainwright on the bump, I may have to go rub one out.
