Tonight starts the 2019 NLCS featuring your St. Louis Cardinals against the Washington Nationals. The Nationals came out as early favorites which is understandable given their defeat of the postseason-favorite Los Angeles Dodgers.
For this second series of the playoffs, the Cardinals will be keeping the same roster that led them through the again-favored Atlanta Braves.
For the most part, there weren’t many players that could’ve been swapped, but with Michael Wacha, Tyler O’Neill, and Dominic Leone all left off the postseason roster after playing a role in the regular season, there are certainly arguments to be made for each to have been put back on.
