The top 2 teams in each division are:
ATL 66-48
PHI 64-50
STL 64-49
CIN 64-51
SD 67-46
SF 66-50
Against these teams, the Cardinals are 20-13 (ATL - 4-0, PHI - 4-4, CIN - 10-5, SD - 1-2, SF - 1-2)
and the Reds are 12-20 (ATL - 2-3, PHI - 2-5, STL - 5-10, SD - 1-2, SF - 2-2)
Of course the head-to-head match-up between STL and CIN affects these records a lot. If you don't include those games, the Cardinals are 10-8 and the Reds are 7-12.
Opponents with winning records would also include: FLA 57-56, NYM 57-57, COL 59-55, and LAD 59-56.
Record against all NL teams with a .500 winning percentage or better:
STL - 29-24
CIN - 23-30
Record against all teams (incl. AL) with a .500 winning percentage or better:
STL - 35-27
CIN - 26-30
Record against all NL teams with a losing record:
STL - 26-19
CIN - 33-14
Record against all teams (incl. AL) with a losing record:
STL - 29-22
CIN - 38-21
This data was taken on 8-13. It does not reflect the last series against the Cards or San Fran.
