San Francisco: 25%
Free MLB Pick
The Giants have won three of the last four games that Ryan Vogelsong has started, but his stat line is less impressive with the active roster of the Cardinals hitting .278 with a .360 on base percentage in 89 plate appearances. Lance Lynn’s numbers are better, but not strong with the Giants hitting .254 with a .351 OBP in 74 plate appearances. The total hasn’t favored the OVER with a 1-2-1 record versus the O/U line in their four meetings this season and the Cardinals are the best UNDER bet in baseball. However, St. Louis has a strong OVER trend going on this road trip with a 4-2-2 mark in the eight games and faces a San Francisco team whose offense is humming scoring 5.75 over their last five matches against some pretty good arms.
