I would prefer avoiding the Cards this year. I thought we were definitely better than them back in 2015, but this year the starting pitching/bullpen just seems too unreliable right now. Don't get me wrong; I think we have a strong chance of reaching the WS and beating every team in the NL, but we go through really difficult stretches where the Cubs look awful for a few days. NLDS: Arizona (Doubt they'll get in, but you never know) NLCS: Dodgers or Atlanta World Series: Oakland We do seem to get a players rest day constantly and the pitching is getting more constitant. I like our chances as of now against anyone
