The St. Louis Cardinals are having a rough May. The team is currently 6-14, good for a .300 winning percentage. The Birdos went from being 19-10 with a three game lead in the NL Central on May 1 to at present 25-24 and fell to fourth in the Central, 4.5 games back of the leader. Yeah, it has been as bad as it has felt.
But has it been the worst May in franchise history? With a lot of help from Craig Edwards (former VEB Overlord and current writer at Fangraphs) and Baseball Reference’s Play Index*, we can find out!
