I couldn't find one for the Cardinals to win the division but you can buy this one for them to win the WS...

It pays you $6,200 if they win it.

Ken Rosenthal has a good column on the difficulty of evaluating players from a 60 game season.

Thom Brennaman resigned from his job with #Reds and Fox Sports Ohio. He was suspended last month for using a homophobic slur during a broadcast.

Now the only way the Cardinals can "win" the division is if they sweep their next three and the Cubs get swept.  And it will be a little cheap if they play two fewer games than they're supposed to but win it because they have one fewer win and one fewer loss.

This is only the third time in baseball history that the Marlins have made the playoffs. They won the World Series in their first two playoff seasons.

Don’t think that’s right.

Second playoff run, Marlins fell victim to Moises Alou’s circus catch near the stands, Alex Gonzalez’ sure-handed plays at SS, and Marlins lost NLCS in six. Tough loss for them. With a little luck, they might have won it all.

Mondesi of KC is hot.  9 consecutive hits including home runs and doubles.  Rescued his season.

Cards get out of a jam with Braun up in the 7th in their game with Milwaukee; still 3-0 Brewers.
