Think of this as an extension of Tyler’s post yesterday, looking at how Cardinal teams of the last 10 years have performed over their first 60 games. I looked all the way back to the 1920s, wondering what the best and worst stretches of 60 games were - regardless of whether or not they started the season.
I think what John and I are both wondering is just how predictive a 60-game season would be of the results of a “full” season. We know 162-games is the standard for separating the winners from the losers. We know that playoff series - even 7 game series - are largely a tossup.
