The Cardinals have won 16 games in a row, a new franchise record, putting them on-pace for 90-wins on the season and a shot at the one-game Wild Card against either the Giants or the Dodgers.

We discuss the good and bad versions of what that “coin-flip game” could look like, as well as which of those terrifying opponents we would want to face. But first, we answer several questions from listeners, covering everything from the playoff rotation to Edman playing time and how this win streak might effect offseason moves.

Ben Humphrey recommends Katie Woo’s breakdown of the Cardinals unlikely double-play in Saturday’s win over the Cubs.

Ben Godar recommends Luke Epplin’s excellent Our Team: The Epic Story of Four Men and the World Series That Changed Baseball, which he calls quite possible the best baseball book he has ever read.
