The recent form of the Cardinals has been impressive, with their bats catching fire and pitching finding a solid rhythm. In their last outing against the Padres, they amassed 14 hits and secured 6 runs without committing a single error. Their hitting statistics were particularly notable; they achieved a batting average of .341 and an on-base percentage of .400, indicating that they have been effective at getting players on base and driving them home.


Their pitching staff has also shown commendable efficiency. The bullpen managed to maintain an ERA of 0.0 over two innings pitched against the Padres while keeping the opposition's batting average to just .143 in those late innings – showcasing their ability to close out games effectively.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing in previous games as evidenced by some fluctuations in performance. Against the Dodgers, despite securing a win with 4 runs from 8 hits and maintaining errorless fielding once again, there was a noticeable dip in batting average (.235) compared to their most recent game.


The upcoming game promises excitement as both teams bring their A-game to one of baseball's most iconic venues – Busch Stadium – known for its passionate fanbase and electric atmosphere which could play into the Cardinals' hands as they leverage home-field advantage.
