The St. Louis Cardinals are winning games in large part due to their pitching. After Steven Matz and Miles Mikolas turned in phenomenal performances over the last week, it's clear those two specifically are stepping up in Jack Flaherty's absence. Offensively, we are starting to see signs of improvement, but they are still largely not getting the job done on a consistent level. With two games in Kansas City and four in San Francisco this week, it's time for the rest of the offense to improve and step up just as Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt have. WANT MORE DAILY ST.
