WEDNESDAY’S BEST PICKS
8 PM ( ESP2) MLB Baseball With the playoffs firmly in their crosshairs, Paul Goldschmidt and the St. Louis Cardinals hope to improve their chances with a victory over their cross-state rivals in Jorge Soler and the Kansas City Royals. Though they have a record around .500, that shouldn’t keep the Cardinals from a postseason berth, given MLB’s 16-team format. As for the Royals, it’s wait until next year as they’re sitting at the bottom of the American League Central standings.
