Quantifying Hope: Cubs’ Playoff Odds Skyrocket to 78% Ahead of Cards Series

What a difference a week makes, huh? The Cubs’ playoff odds were under 60% when I checked last week, and now they’re at 78.3% with a very winnable series against the Cardinals coming up. The Redbirds came out of the gate hot and have been holding steady in third place, but they are likely to fade from here on out as their focus remains on the future. Jumping on them this weekend would provide more of a boost to a Cubs team that has been red-hot lately.

That’s all for today, as I’m trying to put a bow on things before going on cruise control for the weekend. I hope all of you have a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July, and that the Cubs are a big part of it.
