Top Player Prop Picks

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

Goldschmidt has been a consistent force in the Cardinals' lineup and thrives at Busch Stadium. With his ability to hit for power and average, he is a strong candidate to exceed 1.5 total bases in this game.

2. Josiah Gray Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110)

Gray has struggled to go deep into games against strong lineups, and the Cardinals' disciplined approach at the plate could limit his strikeout totals. This makes the under on his strikeouts a favorable play.

3. Nolan Arenado to Record an RBI (+140)

Arenado has been clutch in run-scoring situations, especially at home. With the Nationals' pitching staff prone to giving up runs, Arenado is a great pick to drive in at least one run in this game.
