The St. Louis Cardinals have shined in June and could use a major boost in July at the trade deadline.
If the 2024 Major League Baseball season were to end today, the St. Louis Cardinals would be back in the postseason.

Although this is the case, St. Louis has turned things around in June and now is three games above .500 at 41-38 and holds the No. 2 National League Wild Card spot. The Cardinals are just 3 1/2 games behind the Atlanta Braves for the top Wild Card spot and six games behind the Milwaukee Brewers for the top spot in the National League Central.
