Fangraphs writer and baseball projection extraordinaire Dan Szymborski has release his team standings projections and St. Louis Cardinals fans should be quite happy. According to Szym the Cardinals are projected for 91 wins to lead the NL Central, 8 games above the second-place projected Milwaukee Brewers. This would have the Cardinals tied with the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League and behind the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets, who are tied for first place per the projections.
Szym breaks it down more in depth in his article for Fangraphs here, but he states that he uses the ZiPS projection system to find the team win totals and then uses another set of algorithms from ZiPS to determine injury risk for players.
