The first day of the Wild Card Round is like a holiday as we get high-intensity baseball spread throughout the day. The second game we will see takes place between the NL Central champions St. Louis Cardinals, and the third NL wild-card team, the Philadelphia Phillies.
Getting the ball first will be Cardinals lefty Jose Quintana. Quintana proved to be a worthwhile acquisition for St. Louis as he was dominant once coming over at the deadline. In 12 starts, he had a 2.01 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. However, those stats are wiped clean now, and he may have very different results in the postseason.
Opposing him for the Phillies will be their ace, Zack Wheeler. Wheeler missed some time from late July to early August, but still managed to make 26 starts. He was excellent in nearly all of them, as he held a 2.82 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. He also is quite familiar with this Cardinals lineup, as he saw them twice this year. So can he deliver a hat trick with a third stellar performance? Let’s dive in to find out.
