Does 17 games, the St. Louis Cardinals didn’t really show many arguments to fight to get into the Major League Playoffs with a record of 69 – 69. But suddenly the pieces settled, clicked, and they began to win and win and win and win … This Tuesday, the Cardinals tied their place in the postseason.
St. Louis beat Milwaukee 6-2 to achieve his 17to. victori to consecutive, which is the longest of the year in the Big Top and the third longest in MLB in the past 60 years. The Cleveland Indians won 22 in a row at 2017 and the Oakland Athletics 20 on 2002. The historical record is 26 by the New York Giants in 1916 .
The regular season will conclude this Sunday and St. Louis, whatever happens, will be in the wild card game against a club of 100 games won: San Francisco Giants or Los Angeles Dodgers , who are fighting for the West Division title.
Whoever finishes second between the Giants and Dodgers (San Francisco started Tuesday 2 games clear of the World Series champs) will host the amazing red birds on Wednesday, October 6 in 9 or more innings to life or death.
Whether it’s the Giants or the Dodgers, teams much better armed than the Cardinals, what St. Louis has done is remarkable and in reality anything can happen in one game.
