Meh. I don't think it's over yet. The Cardinals have the 26th ranked offense in
MLB. I think the Padres can still beat them.

Flaherty hasn't been great this year. He has an ERA just under 5 and gave up nine runs a couple of weeks ago against the Brewers, and Wainwright has given up three runs in his last two outings. The Padres are also really good against righties (today scares me more, actually, because they struggle against lefties). They are also really good at drawing out pitch counts to get into bullpens, and the Cardinals' bullpen has been middle of the road.

The Padres have the deeper offense, so I think they can still win. That's not a guarantee, though. There's never any guarantees in a short series. But I think even without Clev and Lamet they are good enough to beat St. Louis.

There is absolutely no way they last more than four games against the Dodgers, though, without at least one of those guys.
