St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants Betting Preview
Cardinals: Jake Woodford
The 26-year-old right-hander is one of the possible future stars of the Cardinals organization, already having four games started this season. His career high in games played on an MLB schedule is 27. So having four under his belt this season bodes well for what is to come.
His MLB player stats are not the most exciting, but his consistency is what is best. Woodford’s career ERA is 3.91, which is quite impressive, to say the least.
He had a career year last year, with a 100% win percentage and a 2.23 ERA. However, in four games played this season, his 6.05 ERA could use improvement.
Giants: John Brebbia
Brebbia has seen incredibly consistent time for the Giants this season, playing in 10 of the team’s 22 games this season. However, he has not started a game yet, so this should be a great challenge for one of the best San Francisco Giants players.
He is always reliable if you need a pitcher, rarely ending up on the MLB injury report. He averages 51 games played per season, and hopefully, he can add quite a few more in 2023.
His career ERA is 3.41, also having a career year in 2022 with 3.18. He hopes to add another win to the column to keep his record at 100%.
St. Louis Cardinals vs. San Francisco Giants Picks and Predictions
Over 9.0 runs
Looking at the Cardinals vs Giants odds, the over is the easiest of the MLB picks for this game, with two of the most impressive offensive teams in baseball.
The Giants are ranked 4th in the league in home runs with 34, and the Cardinals rank 3rd in the league in hits with 212. Both are middle of the pack with runs scored, but they should take advantage of their opportunities.
Moneyline: Cardinals -110
Although most St. Louis Cardinals predictions do not tote the team very highly, they still remain one of the best young teams in baseball.
They are the 9th youngest team in the league with an average age of 27.6, and their energy shows it. They should take this game away and make your MLB picks easy, regardless of home-field advantage.
