If they lose last 2 games, they have a great chance of securing a Top 11 pick (Over 99%) according to Tankathon website, best they could be is Top 5 (25%)

Just bring Graceffo and Roycroft in for today and tomorrow, and that ought to do it.

remember... Rockies, Nats, and Angels can pick no higher than 10, 11, 12.

we currently have a 1/2 game lead over the Marlins...they're 9th (today's game TBD), we're 8th. Giants are 13th...1 1/2 games behind us (today's game TBD).

Miami is going to lose, down 3 with an inning left...so we'll be tied, and I believe they hold the tiebreaker? We're either 8th or 9th.

In my opinion....8th or 9th is bad, b/c we'll likely pick 13th or 14th if we don't win the Lotter for 1-6....1-3 teams with better records than us will jump us, knocking us to 13th or 14th.

-------------

need help from Tampa...they need to win tomorrow and we need to lose to gain 1 more spot.

Winning 2 from the Giants this week was bad...that comeback win is haunting is right now.

not necessarily....teams can still jump ahead of us with a bad lottery....2 teams with better records can drop us to 13th or 14th in the draft

I think the Cards have done a fine job losing last 3 games

Improved their chances a lot for a better pick

They could slide up even higher than 9th

Just sayin…

Secured the 9th spot which was very important, Sunday results don't matter now.

Cardinals lose again. They didn't even have to tank. They are terrible.
