Cardinals World Series Chances

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

The MLB playoffs begin Friday. The St. Louis Cardinals are our favorite long-shot pick. The team needs two important aspects: underrated talent and great value to be worth betting on.

Adam Wainwright has an immaculate 2.83 ERA in 114.1 playoff innings. He's a good bet to win the World Series MVP. The Cardinals have a strong position player core. Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado and Tommy Edman are good utility players. Ryan Helsley has a 1.25 ERA.

The Cardinals are currently -150 to win their three-game series vs the Phillies. St. Louis has the fourth-best defense in baseball per defensive runs saved (70) while the Phils are 25th at -34. If the Cardinals win the National League wild-card round, they will face the Braves instead of the Dodgers.

The Cardinals are going to the World Series. Arenado and Goldschmidt are among the favourites to win the MVP award. Albert Pujols is a long-shot, but he's a good value. Jordan Montgomery is also a contender.

It does take some kind of magic to make 1 (Cardinals) win+ 1 (Brewers) loss = 3. But, hey, I don't do the math.…
