The St. Louis Cardinals played their 121st game of the season last night. That means the Cardinals have completed 74.6% of their 2015 slate of games. El Birdos face the Padres in their 122nd game tonight. Completion of that game will mark the 75.3% point of the season. Using simple rounding rules, I figure we're close enough to the three-quarter mark of the season to see how the individual Cardinals' stats compare to their preseason VEB Community projections.
First, a refresher on the preseason VEB Community projections. Every year, various publications, websites, and sabermetricians put out preseason projections for the forthcoming MLB season.
