St. Louis Cardinals Odds: 2027 Outlook

Cody Kutzer Profile Picture

The St. Louis Cardinals went 77-85 in 2026, finishing fourth in the NL Central and 11 games behind the final Wild Card spot. It was the fourth straight season without a postseason berth. The Cardinals own 100 Gold Glove Awards in franchise history, but none came home this year. Second baseman JJ Wetherholt, shortstop Masyn Winn and pitcher Michael McGreevy were all named finalists and fell just short.

With the World Series over, the offseason is the story. The Cardinals carry some of the longer odds on the board for 2027, while the Los Angeles Dodgers hold the best odds to win the World Series and the Milwaukee Brewers, the 2026 champions, are second. St. Louis opens the 2027 season at Cincinnati on March 25 and plays its home opener against the Kansas City Royals at Busch Stadium on April 1. Missouri sports betting is live, and we will update this page as new odds are posted.
