What the data says

The St. Louis Cardinals don't have a strong public-vs-money pattern this season. Across the 91 games we've tracked, the average bet percentage on St. Louis Cardinals is 42.3% and the average money percentage is 46.5%. Those are middle-of-the-pack numbers — bettors are split, dollars follow the bet count, and the line generally reflects the matchup rather than the public lean.

With 91 games on the board, the data is starting to mean something — and what it means is that St. Louis Cardinals aren't a high-conviction fade or follow play. There's no consistent edge in either direction.

Frequently asked questions

What is a meaningful bet% / money% gap?

A 10-point gap is the threshold we treat as noise vs. signal. 15+ points is meaningful — it usually means the average bet on the money side is materially larger than on the public side.

What is St. Louis Cardinals's record when faded by sharps?

When the money side is opposite the betting majority on St. Louis Cardinals, the fade-the-public side is 8-10 in those games this season.

What is St. Louis Cardinals's record when they are a public favorite?

When St. Louis Cardinals draw 60%+ of bets, they are 10-8 this season. Public favorites historically underperform; see the methodology page for the season aggregate.

Is St. Louis Cardinals a public team?

Season-to-date, St. Louis Cardinals averages 42.3% of bets across their games. Above 55% is a public lean; above 60% qualifies them as a public favorite.

How often does the team with more money% cover?

In our season-to-date sample, the side with more money than bets covers slightly more than half the time. The edge grows with the size of the bet/money gap.

What is a public favorite? A public favorite is the side drawing 60% or more of the betting tickets on a given game. When the money percentage trails the bet percentage on that side, it's a signal that smaller, casual bets are stacking up there — and the larger bets are on the other side. See our methodology →.
