If you had said before the season that the St. Louis Cardinals would be seven games above .500 right around the halfway point of the 2025 Major League Baseball season, you would’ve shocked some people. The Cardinals are 43-36 through 79 games. The Cardinals will officially reach the halfway point of the season this week against the Chicago Cubs. Right now, St. Louis is only 3 1/2 games behind its rival for the top spot in the National League Central standings.
