What to expect in 2026?
The 2026 St. Louis Cardinals are officially in teardown mode after shipping out Sonny Gray, Willson Contreras, Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan. New President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom is building around youth, with no projected starter older than 28. From a betting perspective, this is a roster built for growing pains.
Matthew Liberatore is lined up as the Opening Day starter, which tells you where the rotation stands. Michael McGreevy has upside, but the staff and bullpen are still works in progress. The lineup has a few intriguing pieces, yet depth is thin. In the win total market, anything near 70 victories feels optimistic, making the under a serious early lean.
2025 Season Record: 78–84
