if the cardinals have a 60% chance of winning any one game what are the odds of them winning the world series

The odds are very high, since the cards have to only win one more game to win the series. The Mets have to win the rest of the games to win the series. The odds are over 3 to 1.

I think you're being generous with your 60% chance on any given game, but we'll go with that. That means they have a 40% chance of losing and a 60% chance of winning. Here are your odds:
Win Game 5- 60% (.6)
Lose Game 5, Win Game 6- 24% (.4 x .6)
Lose Game 5, Lose Game 6, Win Game 7- 9.6% (.4 x .4 x .6)
Lose Game 5, Lose Game 6, Lose Game 7- 6.4% (.4 x .4 x .4)
The last scenario is the only one where they lose the Series, so the chances of them winning are 93.6%. But I'll tell you right now that your 60% figure is really high.

The chances of St. Louis winning are 3/4 or 75%.
There are 4 possibilities of how this series completes.
1) Win game 5.
2) Lose game 5, win game 6.
3) Lose game 5, lose game 6, win game 7.
4) Lose game 5, lose game 6, lose game 7.

100% - it is GONNA HAPPEN ;)
Based on a random walk model, you could base it on the recent history - which is the cards have won 75% of the games lately.
But, the lost the game with Weaver starting. Basically I think you can manipulate the odds however you like and get the results you want to see.
