## Resource

The St. Louis Cardinals, despite offloading veterans and high-priced deals, are thriving this season, boasting a 21-14 record and a second-place spot in the NL Central. Their young core, including JJ Wetherholt, Ivan Herrera, Masyn Winn, Jordan Walker, and Alec Burleson, is driving their offense, scoring 172 runs, the seventh-most in the NL. However, their pitching, with a 4.50 team ERA and a bullpen ERA of 4.92, is a cause for concern. The teams success hinges on balancing their offensive prowess with improved pitching as the season progresses. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
