Series Preview #5: Cardinals @ Diamondbacks

The sky was the limit for the Cardinals in 2023. In 2022 the St. Louis Cardinals had gotten stellar MVP-production from Paul Goldschmidt and unlike in many season with the Diamondbacks, it immediately got the birdos the NL Central title. Goldschmidt was backed by another superstar at the other corner, Nolan Arenado and even Albert Pujols had a very good season in what would be his farewell. The team got good although unspectacular performances from their starting pitchers. Despite an impressive 93-69 finish in their division and being a favourite in the post-season, the Cardinals season was wiped away by the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS.
