I think a team will need at least 90 wins to make the playoffs. Maybe more.

Cards playoff odds are up to 75.5%, with 38.1% of that to win division. They still like the Cubs though - 85.2% to make the playoffs and 55.7% for the division. They really don't like the Brewers or Pirates (playoff odds are 20% and 10% respectively)

4. You will find true love on Flag Day
5. We will all be appalled when the Cardinals are 2 games over .500 at the trade deadline and we stand pat.
Need to win tonight for number 5 being (potentially) true.
