In the NL:
Mets 97 wins
Padres 88wins
Dodgers 88 wins
Phillies 85 wins
Cardinals 83 wins

They were 5th best in their own league.

In the AL there were EIGHT TEAMS with more wins than the Cards.
So the team that was 13th best in regular season play is now 3 wins away from the trophy.
You telling me there isn't anything wrong with that?
