Introducing the Cardinals Off-Day Win Tracker

Inspired by the old Matthew Leach pace tweets, we'll be checking-in on the off-day to see what this team is on-pace to do.

Inspired by the old Matthew Leach on-pace tweets, I wanted a visual way to track the Cardinals through the season. Since we have embraced the off-day as our #brand, I give you the Cardinals Off-Day Win Tracker.

We always know the team’s won/loss record and winning percentage. But frankly, my brain doesn’t work that way. That’s what I always loved about the #LeachPaceTweets. We know what a 90-win team looks like. Preseason projections are always framed around win totals. So for me, knowing what win total the club is on-pace for really helps me understand just what kind of Cardinals team I am looking at.

For context, I’ve also included the baseline preseason projections for the betting markets, ZiPS and PECOTA. Let’s hope the Cardinals continue to hover above those three lines.

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out today’s episode of the podcast, with guest Alex Crisafulli of Chirps. We talk win totals, as well as Pujols and look back at a bonkers Box Score of Yore.
