Top Player Prop Picks

1. Paul Goldschmidt Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)

Goldschmidt has been a key contributor for the Cardinals, and his ability to hit for power makes this prop appealing. Coming off a strong performance in the previous game, he is well-positioned to exceed this line against a vulnerable Tigers pitching staff.

2. Nolan Arenado to Record an RBI (+105)

Arenado has been a consistent run producer for the Cardinals. With the Tigers' pitching struggles, he should have ample opportunities to drive in runs, making this a solid value pick.

3. Eduardo Rodriguez Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110)

Rodriguez has struggled against potent lineups, and the Cardinals' disciplined approach at the plate could limit his strikeout totals. This prop aligns with the expectation of a strong offensive showing from St. Louis.
