The Cardinals have won 16 games in a row, a new franchise record, putting them on-pace for 90-wins on the season and a shot at the one-game Wild Card against either the Giants or the Dodgers.
We discuss the good and bad versions of what that “coin-flip game” could look like, as well as which of those terrifying opponents we would want to face.
