rank
-0.3
rating (points, neutral field)
77-85
record (2026)
+0.2
vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
St. Louis sits at 21st with a -0.284 runs-neutral rating, meaning they're roughly a quarter-run worse than an average team on a neutral field, and that modest number explains a 77-85 record. The arrow is pointing up slightly, with a +0.19 rating change versus last week against a strength of schedule of 0.129, and a prior-season rating of -1.046 shows this is real improvement rather than noise. At +0.2 versus the market, the books are pricing them slightly better than my number, so I'd sell St. Louis as a small favorite but treat them as live getting a run-plus.
