3-4 against the cubs and 2-1 against the dbacks gets us at least a wild card.

According to Len Kasper, if the Cardinals win 4 of the 7 games against the Cubs they will finish ahead of them no matter what happens in the other games.

Yup. Magic number 8 means 4 wins against the Cubs finishes them.

Oops. #magiccubsnumber

Point being, that’s how magic numbers work. Ours is 8. 4=8 in this scenario.


Never mind.

Never mind.
Unless the Phillies or Mets run the table, the math is still accurate for the purpose of this (wild card) thread. 4 Cardinal wins over the Cubs will lock up at least a wild card.

Gotta figure 91 wins (6-4) gets us the division. Brewers would have to go 9-1 to tie.

90 (5-5) likely good enough as well.
