"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the St. Louis Cardinals are used to winning titles - winning two championships and appearing in the Fall Classic four times in the past 10 seasons - the St. Louis Blues have not appeared on hockey's biggest stage since losing three straight Stanley Cup Finals in the franchise's first three seasons of existence, back in 1967-70.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The St. Louis teams are led by Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright and Blues forward T.J. Oshie, who&amp;nbsp;are on this week's regional cover of&amp;nbsp;&lt;em &gt;Sports Illustrated&lt;/em&gt;, which previews the MLB postseason and upcoming NHL season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No city has won MLB and NHL titles in the same year since Detroit pulled off the feat with the&amp;nbsp;Tigers&amp;nbsp;and the&amp;nbsp;Red Wings&amp;nbsp;in 1935.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;BLINN&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Central Division 2014-15 Preview: St. Louis Blues&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wainwright has been downright dominant this season and would be the Cy Young front runner if weren't Dodgers&amp;nbsp;ace&amp;nbsp;Clayton Kershaw. Wainwright went 20-9 with a 2.38 ERA and 1.03 WHIP and finished the year winning his last five decisions. If the Cardinals bats can't get going this postseason, the team will rely its&amp;nbsp;stingy pitching staff, which led the majors with 23 shutouts.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Blues, bounced out of the playoffs in the first round for the second straight season, upgraded their offense by signing Paul Stasny this offseason, pairing him along with Sochi Olympic hero Oshie, David Backes and a strong defense, which was second in the NHL last season with an 85.7 penalty kill percentage.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;2014 team playoff previews: Capsules, analysis for all 10 MLB teams&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For more on the upcoming NHL season and MLB playoffs, check out this week's&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Sports Illustrated&lt;/em&gt; (subscribe here).
