St. Louis Cardinals Playoff Betting Odds & 2025 Postseason Projections

St. Louis Cardinals Playoff Betting Odds & 2025 Postseason Projections

The St. Louis Cardinals are mired in a mini-slump having missed the postseason each of the past two seasons, but the franchise is looking to reverse course and get back to its winning ways in 2025. With online sports betting set to launch at some point in 2025 in the Show-Me State, bettors in Missouri could have access to Missouri sportsbook promos by the time the MLB postseason rolls around, giving them access to dozens of St. Louis Cardinals odds.

That includes the potential of them making the postseason, which currently stands at an inconspicuous +8000 at Caesars Sportsbook. Though players will need to wait until Missouri sports betting launches sometime this fall, there may be value to grab on the Cardinals behind their heavy-hitting offense and strong farm system.

Analyzing Cardinals' Offensive Power & Betting Trends

The Cardinals projected as a middle-of-the-pack offense and that's pretty much where they have been all season. Nearing the midway point, they are tied for sixth in runs, seventh in RBI and seventh in the OPS in the National League. But with second baseman Brendan Donovan leading the way, the Cardinals are third in batting average. It's no surprise, then, that they've been a popular overs pick at sports betting sites.

Bettors will have the chance to wager on a number of offensive outcomes such as totals, player homers/runs/RBIs and more when they're able to sign up at operators using welcome offers like the FanDuel Missouri promo code.

On the mound, veteran Sonny Gray has emerged as the ace, winning seven of nine decisions through the middle of June. But collectively, the Cardinals need more consistency from a pitching staff that is allowing just about four runs per game. 

After opening the season with a win total of 76.5, sports betting apps have adjusted the Cardinals' total, as DraftKings had them at -280 to win 80+ games. Bettors will be able to bet on team win totals using offers like the DraftKings Missouri promo code once online sports betting launches in the Show-Me State.
