The Cards have 2 dominant pitchers. They stacked their rotation to 'win' this series. That will work in any short series and that is why they are a threat in the post-season. The Reds are deeper, especially at the 4th and 5th spots (and 6th or 7th with Bailey and even Harang lurking out there), so over a long season, and we still have about 50 games left, that gives them an advantage.
These 3 games were bad, but they can definitely win 1 more game than the Cards just by pitching Travis Wood 8 or 9 times when the Cardinals have their #5 out there.
