Cardinals on the Road and other stats

[ggnoobs]

Away from Busch the Cardinals have an amazing record of 12-5. (.706 winning %) Best in MLB.

At home they are 10-10. Usually the maxim is Win at home and play .500 on the road, and the Cardinals have flipped that. But hopefully they do pick up more wins at home as well.

Their record against teams that are over .500 is 8-2 for a whopping .800 win%. That's best in MLB.

And maybe the most weird thing is that they Have scored 176 runs and allowed 176 runs for an even run differential. Milwaukee at a record of 19-18 has a +46 run differential, but 3 less wins. The Cardinals win close games, which is amazing considering how the bullpen was at least in April.

They have an expected W/L record of 19-18, so they are performing better than expected. Pundits usually credit that to the manager, but could just be randomness.

Some of those games weren't close until the bullpen came in.

I believe it is expected W/L based on run differentials. In this case being even it makes since they are expected to be ~.500
