St. Louis Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals had a strong finish in May, going 12-4 and putting themselves in the NL wild-card mix entering June. They are counting on their solid pitching to continue their success, with Lance Lynn taking the mound on Sunday night against the Phillies. Despite a recent losing streak, Lynn has a 3.13 ERA on the road this season and has had success against Philadelphia in the past. The Cardinals' relievers rank well in various stats and are known for inducing ground balls.
