1987 WORLD SERIES PREVIEW: TEXAS RANGERS VS. ST LOUIS CARDINALS

For the 1987 World Series, we're up against the St Louis Cardinals. Ahh yes, the same opponent as in the infamous 2011 World Series.

They netted 100 wins on the year for the best record in the NL, and defeated the Cincinnati Reds in the NLCS (also in 7 games). Looking at their roster, they don't scare me as much as Boston did. They have Andy Van Slyke who is 3rd in Batter WAR in the NL with 5.8. Also Keith Hernandez who's good but for some reason batting 6th?? Some power spread throughout the lineup though.

STL is kind of a mishmash of decent pieces but I think we're definitely the favourite to win here. Their defense looks a bit weak so I hope our hitters take advantage.
