MLB Betting Trends

San Francisco

The Giants are 1-4 in their last five Tuesday games. San Francisco is 1-6 in its last seven games overall.

St. Louis

The Cardinals are 5-0 in their last five games versus the NL West. St. Louis is 19-7 in its last 26 games overall.

Prediction:

Flaherty has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since the All-Star Break and he should receive plenty of run support as Rodriguez doesn't fool many people. With Flaherty going against an underwhelming lineup, I think this one could be a rout. I'm taking the hosts on the runline.
