Final Standings in the 1968 NL season. After a fierce battle all season long with the Cincinnati Reds, the St. louis Cardinals pulled away in the final week to Win the NL Pennant. The Reds boasted the best offense in the league. A little better pitching and the results may have been different. Of all the other teams in the league, the Chicago Cubs were the most surprising, and not in a good way. They finished in 9th place, 16 games worse than their actual 1968 record. Although the Cubs featured one of the top pitchers in the NL, pitching was the Cubs undoing.
