Okay, but we have to avoid cherry-picking.
If STL 'isn't really an underdog', then, by the same logic, teams that struggled down the stretch 'aren't really favorites', so they should count as underdogs if they win the cup.
It's the same argument, you can't have it both ways. (Same is true of the LA argument)
