We get an afternoon Midwestern mashup on FS1 for those not particularly partial to March Madness. Last year’s Twins were 11th in runs scored and slugging percentage. They were done in by injuries, sub-average defensive efficiency, a 4.26 team ERA and a 3-10 record against division-winning Cleveland.
How to watch Minnesota Twins at St. Louis Cardinals
Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton are still in the Twin Cities, and the top-three trio of Pablo López, Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober should keep them in the playoff orbit.
The Cardinals have largely been a postseason staple since the turn of the century, but they haven’t pecked past the wild-card spot since 2019. Most of last year’s 83-win iteration returns for another go, but BetMGM has them at +195 odds to reach 80 this time.
Adorned by the Gateway Arch past the outfield and Cardinal Red seating in the park, Busch Stadium is still easy on the eyes.
