💰 Best Bet #1 St. Louis Cardinals +1.5 at -210 / 56% / Home favorite status, public money alignment on STL, and extensive Arizona pitching injuries create value on the Cardinals to stay within the run line despite the slight road-dog pricing on Arizona.

💰 Best Bet #2 Under 7.5 at -105 / 53% / Recent completed games show multiple low-to-mid total outputs (6, 7, 9 runs), combined with heavy under money (59%) and Arizona’s depleted pitching staff pointing to a controlled scoring environment.

💰 Best Bet #3 St. Louis Cardinals -122 / 58% / Strongest market alignment on the Cardinals moneyline (61% bets / 65% money), home-field edge, and opponent injury cluster give the Cardinals the clearest positive-EV side at the current price.
