On the morning of July 24, before the Mets had made any trades, the Mets had the 12th best odds of winning the World Series (1.8%).
Now, a little over a month later, our friends at Number Fire calculate that the Mets have the fourth best odds of winning the World Series (10.6%) behind only the Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals.
Yes, the Mets have a better chance to win the World Series than the St. Louis Cardinals.
Here are how all the percentages break down:
Wins: 90 (2-seed)
Division: 94.8% (1st)
NL Pennant: 23.3% (2nd)
World Series: 10.6% (4th)
How is that for a turn around?!?
By the way, these guys at Number Fire are incredible and are always coming out with some pretty unique and interesting stuff.
