Every day that passes, is a day less to hear the voice of playball in the best baseball in the world, the franchises of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs, are already in Japan, as in the course of this week will be taking place the Opening Day in the Far East, for this reason we continue with our analysis of the 2025 season, where surely more than one team will be giving us surprises, the middle division of the National League, is considered one of the weakest of all MLB, but I do not see it that way, because I think it is one of the most even, by the fact that there are no teams that look superior, but if you can see sets with improvement in their rosters, all this compared to last season, in this division we have already analyzed three teams, today it is the turn of one of the teams with more championships in the history of this league, it is the St. Louis Cardinals, a team that has not had it with them in the last three seasons.

This team was the one who dominated this division for more than a decade, they always managed to qualify and reach the World Series, they had a roster with dedicated players who loved this jersey, but today is a team that comes in frank restructuring, in the last season, the red birds left a record of 83 wins and 79 losses, which placed them in second place, 10 games behind the 2024 divisional champion, the Milwaukee Brewers, In the Cardinals offense, only Wilson Contreras, Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan, will be the most experienced players, while the other members of the line up, will be players who are just making their way in the major leagues, this indicates that this franchise will not be one of those that produce more runs throughout the campaign that is about to begin, of the teams we have analyzed in this division, the Cardinals seem to be the ones that have the least material to face their opponents.
En conclusión, esta campaña para los Cardenales de San Luis será larga, sin lugar a dudas su registro de ganados y perdidos será inferior al de la zafra del 2024, una campaña de reconstrucción, en donde sus contrincantes se ven superiores, cuidado y este equipo termina de último en esta división central de la liga Americana, quizás en par de año veremos el renacer de esta franquicia, a menos que hagan movimientos a lo largo de esta campaña, su destino será el de perder por lo menos 90 encuentros.

As for the pitching, St. Louis, do not have names of greater hierarchy, Sonny Gray will be the mainstay of the rotation, this pitcher is already a veteran and his conditions are not the same as before, Erick Fede, Miles Mikolas, Andre Pallante and Matz, will be the ones who will accompany Gray in the starting rotation during this season, if on offense I don't see them producing many hits, they will surely receive many against, since they don't have depth in their pitching, neither in the starters and much less in the relief corps.
In conclusion, this season for the St. Louis Cardinals will be long, without a doubt their win-loss record will be lower than that of the 2024 season, a rebuilding season, where their opponents look superior, be careful and this team finishes last in this central division of the American League, maybe in a couple of years we will see the rebirth of this franchise, unless they make moves throughout this season, their destiny will be to lose at least 90 games.
