Cardinals vs. Giants Free Pick
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (The Spread) – The Cardinals and Giants will play the rubber match of their three-game series today at 4:05PM ET. Can the underdog Cards take two of three from the defending champs?
ODDS: According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Giants are -117 money line favorites over the Cardinals, who are +108 on the ML. The total, meanwhile, is currently sitting at 7 runs. St. Louis enters play with a 2-3 record overall, while San Francisco is 3-2 following its loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.
LINE MOVEMENT: The Giants opened as -137 money line favorites but their odds have been bet down to -117, while the Cardinals’ odds have gone from +126 down to +108 with ace Adam Wainwright on the hill facing Matt Cain.
PUBLIC BETTING: Of the current wagers placed on tonight’s game, 65% of the betting public currently favors San Francisco. This information is subject to change, however, so make sure you click on the link provided for the most updated numbers.
MLB FREE PICK: Take St. Louis. According to latest MLB trends, the Cardinals are 5-2 in Wainwright’s last seven starts, 10-4 in his last 14 starts on Sunday, and 4-1 in his last five starts versus a team with a winning record. The Cards are also 6-2 in their last eight games when Doug Eddings is behind home plate, while the road team is also 6-2 in Eddings’ last eight games behind the dish. Wainwright looked great against Arizona in his first start of the season until he was struck in the shoulder by a come-backer. The wheels fell off for him after that but look for him to bounce back against a Giants team that doesn’t score many runs. After the Giants came back from a 3-1 deficit in last year’s NLCS, the Cardinals can put a lot of demons to rest with a win today.
