Just as the Bucs come off a great series, sweeping the Cubs (including an 11-1 blowout), they draw Poo Holes and the National League's best team in the Cardinals. I'd be happy with one win in this series, as the Cards are a very tough team to beat, but winning the series would of course be great.
Last year, the Bucs were 5-10 against the Redbirds, including a 4-game Opening Series split in St. Louis. I expect the Bucs will be a little better against them this year, but it will definitely be a tough battle.
