The St. Louis Cardinals had a historic 17-game winning streak in September.
You'll hear often that you want to back the hot team going into the baseball playoffs, and that is a good angle. Just be aware that the Cardinals might not be the hottest team in this game.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were great down the stretch. The San Francisco Giants were just a little better and won the NL West. The Dodgers were 22-7 in September and October. The Cardinals were 23-9. The Dodgers were 21-6 in August too.
