Once Missouri sportsbook apps are available, I suggest checking out several operators prior to placing any wagers. Odds can vary across different sites and you always want to be on the lookout for the best price.
What are the Cardinals Playoff Chances?
For the 2025 season, the Cardinals' playoff chances are currently 17.5% according to odds from FanDuel. Among NL teams, this gives St. Louis the fifth-longest playoff chances. Compared to the rest of the NL Central, only the Pirates have longer playoff odds.
Can the Cardinals Make the Playoffs?
Yes, with the regular season yet to start, the Cardinals (and every other MLB team) have a chance to make the playoffs. Looking at different betting sites, however, the Cardinals would end up being one of the more surprising teams to reach the postseason. As of today, only seven teams across the entire MLB have longer playoff odds according to FanDuel.
What are the Cardinals World Series Odds?
The St. Louis Cardinals odds of winning the 2025 World Series are +13000. Currently, only six teams have longer World Series odds. The Cardinals will be without a few key players this season after not offering or declining club options, missing players like Paul Goldschmidt, Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, and Keynan Middleton.
The team also attempted to trade Nolan Arenado this offseason, signaling the franchise is looking to transition and build through youth.
How Many World Series Titles do the Cardinals Have?
The Cardinals have made 19 World Series appearances and won 11 of them. The last time St. Louis won, however, was back in 2011 in a series against the Texas Rangers. Since then, the Cardinals have been back to the Fall Classic once and have just eight postseason appearances overall.
What are the Cardinals' National League Odds?
The Cardinals' odds to win the NL are +5500, the fifth-longest odds across the entire league. The Cardinals haven't won the National League since 2013 and with their offseason moves and trade rumors, they are unlikely to break that streak in 2025.
Do the Cardinals have any National League Pennants?
Yes, the Cardinals have 19 National League pennants to their name which is the third-most among the NL.
What are the Cardinals' NL Central Odds?
The Cardinals' odds to win the NL Central are +1000, tying them for the longest odds to win the division.

Are There Any Cardinals Betting Promos?
While it's too early to tell if there will be Missouri betting promos specific to the Cardinals, it wouldn't be shocking to see them. This is especially true if those tasked with getting sports betting up and running in the state are able to do so in the summer. With little else to wager on, sportsbooks will be eager to get your business and offering bonuses for betting on the Cardinals would be one way to do it.
Once we know exactly what promotions to expect, I'll update this section with the latest offers.
