Odds on the St Louis Cardinals Winning The 2005 World Series

The team to beat this year, Odds on the St. Louis Cardinals winning the 2005 World Series were listed as 15 to 4 at VIPSports.com

The bookies have St. Louis as the favored team to win the 2005 World Series but there is still plenty of value to be had here.  That is because even as the favorite, odds are still 15 to 4.  This means that should St. Louis win, they would pay $375 on a $100 bet at VIPsports. 

The Cardinals are just slightly ahead of The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees in the online bookie's odds arena.

This shouldn't surprise anybody considering they hold one of the best regular season records at press time. 

The Cardinals still lead the National League in runs scored, but the damage and the dents are starting to show. Injuries and slumps are eroding the lineup, and that's why the Cardinals rank 17th in the majors in runs per game in July.

The help-wanted sign for the outfield has been lowered somewhat by rookie John Rodriguez, but let's not get carried away. Albert Pujols is basically carrying the offense on his back until relief arrives.

Do not despair.

The Cardinals' starting rotation continues to attach a strong, reinforced silver lining to the bottom of that torn, worn lineup.

Because of consistently good, and frequently dominant, turns by the starters, the Cardinals keep winning in July. Lifted by Mark Mulder's seven-inning, one-run outing, the Cardinals defeated Milwaukee, 4-2, on Wednesday night and are 12-4 in July. The parched offense hasn't prevented the Cardinals from winning games.

And that bodes well for the Cardinals' chances in October.
