been discussing this with a few ppl since last night. what do you think the chances are of the cardinals winning the next two games? i put it at about 40%.

Odds to win NL Championship Series - Best of Seven 2-3-2
10/20/05 200 Astros -180
19:05 ET Cardinals +160

cool, looks like the bookmakers decided on a line that's not too far from my guess. i've talked to guys who put stl's chances at 28-30%, even 20% or lower.

i'd say anywhere in the range of 30-36%

I would've expected this to be somewhere around
HOU -190
STL +170

so pretty on
