The St. Louis Cardinals’ pitching staff is fueling their playoff push, stepping up when the team needed them most.

The St. Louis Cardinals are 0.5 games back of the second National League wild card spot. Their playoff odds, which now sit at 18 percent, are the highest they’ve been in months after a 7-0 victory against the New York Mets on Monday night.
