The Cardinals head into Dodger Stadium tonight with momentum and value on their side. St. Louis has quietly been cashing tickets, and with Mikolas taking the mound, they’re looking to control the pace early.
The total sits at 9.5, juiced slightly to the UNDER (-125), but bettors are leaning OVER at +105—expecting the bats to stay hot. Sheehan has been shaky at home, and the Cards could take advantage in the later innings. With both bullpens showing signs of wear, a few late fireworks could push this one past the number.
If you’re eyeing a side, St. Louis at -125 holds some edge, but the sharper angle may lie in riding the public steam on the OVER.
