I have huge news for you all today! The Cardinals playoff odds are UP! Yes, UP! I think I’ve included the numbers in my last few articles, so I’ve been tracking them. They were just barely under 3% before the team’s excellent post-All-Star Game homestand against the Giants and Cubs. They crossed the 3% barrier early last week.
But now, as of Friday afternoon, they are ALL THE WAY UP TO 4.2%! Four. Point. 2. Percent! Start sewing the banners now!
Yes, that’s sarcasm. And yes, I know, that was a poor way to start what is supposed to be an optimistic Saturday post that will chart a path for the Cardinals to the playoffs.
