3 bold Cardinals predictions for MLB Playoff series vs. Phillies

The St. Louis Cardinals are the number three seed in the National League. They will play the Philadelphia Phillies in a three-game series. The Cardinals have home field advantage for the entire series, while the Phillies almost collapsed in September. The series will be over before you know it, as it's only three games long.

The Cardinals are playing the World Series against the Red Sox. Jose Quintana will start the game and will face Zach Wheeler. The game will be decided in the bottom of the ninth. Albert Pujols will take David Robertson deep to left field on the first pitch.

Mikolas will start for the Cardinals in Game 2 and he will not make it out of the second inning. Adam Wainwright will get called in for mop up duty in this game. St. Louis only gives up one run after Mikolas' horrid outing, but they lose 7-4 to the Phillies. Game 3 will be a do-or-die contest.

Paul Goldschmidt will have a monster 5 RBI performance in Game 3 of the NL Divisional round against the Phillies. The Cardinals will advance to the next round and play the Atlanta Braves.   The game will be won by the Cardinals. They will win 5-3. It will also be the first time in the history of baseball that the team with the most hits in a playoff game has won the game.
