Interest to me, and me only

As of September 5, according to Baseball Prospectus's Playoff Odds Report, the Cardinals can't miss the playoffs. They run computer simulations for the remaining games of the season one million times and not once did the Cardinals miss out. Their magic number, nevertheless, is 10 today.

Smallest number on today's report: The Cinncinati Reds won the wild card in TWO of the million simulations. Keep hope alive, Junior.

  • Why do they need to run 1 million computer simulations to know whether the Cardinals mathematically locked up a playoff spot?
