Was Will Brennan sending a warning for the upcoming Cardinals series (and Orioles, for that matter) when he hit and killed a bird attempting to play shortstop last week? Probably not, but hopefully it’s an omen for the Guardians’ first sweep of the season.
Entering the season, the Cardinals were projected to win the NL Central with 86.9 wins, with a small chance to win the World Series (4.9%). Now six weeks into the season, despite their losing record, FanGraphs still tags them with the highest World Series odds in the NL Central (2.9%), but they are projected to lose the division to the Brewers.
