2026 Record Prediction

Post by sikeston bulldog2 »

Good morning.

That time again. We posted an after season record thread, an off season before ST thread, and now, after ST thread.

We’ve seen it all. It’s here.

The odds guys got 70 ish. They are rarely wrong big. I’m usually a 81 win or better predictor.

So my call- 81-81. Awesome for a young growing team.

Who’s next.

That’s strong. That will be in franchise worse territory. Heres a question based on 94 losses. Do you see a lot of lost one run games, or do you see them losing big often.

Another big strategy is to lead early. Do we have that ability.

78-86 if they don’t sell

72-90 if they sell May, JoJo, and whoever else has value to a contender

Even if the pitching is good you need Walker and Gorman to solidify the lineup to score enough runs to win 84 games. I'm a buyer.

72 wins, which was my prediction last year as well. As we know, the Cardinals won slightly more than that. I hope I am wrong and they get 80+ wins.

71-91

The over sounds like a great bet.

Gorman's looked different this spring, let's hope it's for real.

Not sure about Walker (who I'd have started at AAA) but word is he's working hard w/the hitting lab coaches.

Any uptick from Winn, VSII, Gorman, Walker and a healthy Noot is certainly needed to score those runs.
