Bryce Harper has been a key offensive contributor for the Phillies, and his ability to generate extra-base hits makes this prop appealing. Harper has consistently performed well against right-handed pitching, and his power at the plate could lead to multiple bases in this game.

2. Nolan Arenado Over 0.5 RBIs (+110)

Nolan Arenado has been a driving force in the Cardinals' lineup, particularly in clutch situations. With runners likely to be on base, Arenado's ability to deliver timely hits makes this prop a strong consideration.

3. Zack Wheeler Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-105)

Zack Wheeler has been dominant on the mound, consistently racking up strikeouts. Facing a Cardinals lineup that has struggled against high-velocity pitching, Wheeler is well-positioned to surpass this strikeout total.
