St. Louis Cardinals @ Philadelphia Phillies Preview

The St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies meet for the second game of their series after the Cardinals edged out a 3-2 victory in the opener. The Cardinals are riding high on a nine-game win streak, showcasing their ability to win close games. Meanwhile, the Phillies, who are 16-4 as moneyline favorites with odds of -156 or shorter this season, will look to bounce back and even the series. Both teams have been competitive, and this matchup promises to be another tightly contested battle.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last 10 meetings, the Cardinals and Phillies have split the series evenly at 5-5. The games have been closely contested, with an average margin of victory of just 2.4 runs. The Cardinals have been slightly better at home, winning three of their last five matchups against the Phillies at Busch Stadium. However, the Phillies have shown resilience, particularly in games where they are favored, making this a compelling matchup.

Pick: Phillies Moneyline (-155)

The Phillies are the pick here on the moneyline. Despite their loss in the series opener, they have been strong as favorites this season, winning 80% of games when favored at -156 or shorter. Their ability to bounce back after losses and their overall consistency make them a solid choice to even the series. The Cardinals' win streak is impressive, but the Phillies' depth and experience give them the edge in this matchup.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Bryce Harper Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)

widget-props-mlb-10737-5208925

Harper has been a key offensive contributor for the Phillies, and he thrives in matchups against right-handed pitching. With his ability to hit for power and get on base, Harper is a strong candidate to exceed 1.5 total bases in this game.

2. Nolan Arenado Over 0.5 RBIs (+110)

Arenado has been clutch for the Cardinals during their win streak, driving in runs in key moments. Facing a Phillies pitching staff that has struggled in high-leverage situations, Arenado is a good bet to record at least one RBI.

3. Zack Wheeler Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-105)

Wheeler has been dominant on the mound, averaging over 7 strikeouts per game in his last five starts. Against a Cardinals lineup that has shown vulnerability to strikeouts, Wheeler should have no trouble hitting this mark.
