## Resource

The St. Louis Cardinals are flying high with a 29-22 record, fueled by standout performances from young stars Jordan Walker and JJ Wetherholt — a rebuild that’s ahead of schedule. But ESPN’s Jeff Passan warns this momentum won’t last, calling the Cardinals the NL team most likely to fall out of playoff contention. He highlights their struggling pitching, dead last in strike rate, and predicts minimal trade activity at the deadline. Still, even if they fade, the future looks bright — this team is building something special, talent-wise, regardless of this year’s postseason fate.
