Former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright, a key player in the team’s 2006 World Series victory and a 12-time postseason participant, is no stranger to the pressure of October baseball. But now, as a retired player, Wainwright is making a bold prediction for his former team’s playoff chances.
On Saturday, as the Cardinals faced off against the Chicago Cubs in a crucial three-game series, Wainwright took to social media to share his thoughts on the team’s future.
“I’m looking at the schedule,” Wainwright wrote. “I’m calling it now. The @Cardinals shock everybody and are playing for a wild card spot on the last series of the season against the @Cubs. Cubs-Cards last 3 days of the regular season at Wrigley could be wild.”
While some fans were skeptical of Wainwright’s prediction, the numbers suggest that he may not be too far off. After taking two of three games from the Cubs this weekend, the Cardinals (60-59) are just three and a half games behind the final wild card spot, currently held by the struggling New York Mets (63-55). The Cubs (67-50) currently lead the Wild Card race, followed by the San Diego Padres (66-52).
The Cardinals have a favorable schedule ahead, with 43 games remaining, 22 of which will be played at home. Four of their six opponents this month have losing records, giving them a chance to gain ground in the standings.
However, September will be the ultimate test for the Cardinals. They will face five teams with a .500 or better record, including a home-away series against the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers.
If the Cardinals want to make Wainwright’s prediction a reality, they will need to see improvement from their pitching staff, which struggled in July with an 8-16 record and a 5.00 ERA.
Despite the challenges ahead, Wainwright’s prediction has given hope to Cardinals fans and added excitement to the end of the regular season. Only time will tell if his bold prediction will come true, but one thing is for sure: the Cardinals will be fighting until the very end.
