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.

Wow, it was just a rough guess of mine that the Cards did crappy against sub .500 teams and ok (but still not good enough for a W.S shot) against above .500 teams. Nice job on the Stats
