The Cardinals really turned their season around in May, but have hit a bit of a rough patch as the month of June gets underway. Since the turn of the month, the Cardinals are 1-3. They lost two out of three to the Rangers and did the same against the Royals upon returning home from Texas.

Up next? The Dodgers. This is going to be some kind of test. They’re playing the defending World Series champions, who are stacked with Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Teoscar Hernandez, and even former Cardinal Tommy Edman.

Me personally? I’m not panicking by any stretch, but I think it’s fair to wonder if the Cardinals might be coming back down to earth a little bit. Bernie Miklasz even pointed out that playing at an .800 clip like they were in May is not sustainable.
