The team's hitters have shown great plate discipline, coupled with power-hitting capabilities that have often tipped games in their favor. On the mound, Toronto's pitchers have maintained commendable ERA figures while striking out opponents at crucial moments.


Against the Cardinals, maintaining this balance will be vital. The Cardinals are known for their resilience and ability to stage comebacks; hence, Toronto must leverage its offensive firepower early in the game while relying on its pitchers to keep St. Louis' hitters at bay.
