St. Louis Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals are facing challenges in their current baseball season, with hopes of turning things around to stay competitive in the postseason race. Starting pitcher Miles Mikolas has had a difficult season, allowing 60 runs in 108 innings pitched. His performance has been impacted by a high expected opponent slugging percentage, barrel percentage, and expected ERA. The Cardinals' lineup has also struggled, scoring an average of 4.38 runs per game. While Ivan Herrera and Willson Contreras have shown strong offensive performances, the rest of the batting order has not been able to consistently produce runs. With only three active batters having an OPS+ over 100, the lineup is vulnerable to opposing pitchers.
