Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Cardinals and the Braves
Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Cardinals Team Total Under 3.5:
“The Cardinals have lost four straight games and five of the past six contests and scored three or fewer games in three of the last six and four or less in all six. The Braves Spencer Schwellenbach is coming off his worst start of the season, but this is an ideal spot at home for him to put together a quality start and record a win. The Cardinals scored nine total runs in the previous four games, so the offense is certainly not clicking. I like St. Louis to score under four runs again, so give me the Team Total Under 3.5.”
