MLB Prop Betting – Philadelphia Phillies at St. Louis Cardinals
By Eric Williams
As every baseball bettor knows, there is always a game within each game. Having said that, the creative oddsmakers at BetUS have come up with several ingenious baseball prop bets for tonight’s matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals.
Here is a look at each props bet followed by my Free MLB Betting Picks:
Total Hits in the game made by both teams combined
Over 18½ hits -120
Under 18½ hits -120
Analysis: The teams combined for 26 hits on Monday night and another 18 in last night’s contest. However, both teams have competent starters on the mound tonight in Jamie Moyer (13-11 and Adam Wainwright (13-11). Take the under here, just barely.
MLB Free Picks: Under
Which team will get the first hit in the game?
Philadelphia Phillies -200
St Louis Cardinals +150
Analysis: The Phillies have gotten on the scoreboard first in each of the series’ opening two games and should get the first hit tonight.
MLB Free Picks:Phillies
Which team will hit the 1st home run in game?
Philadelphia Phillies -140
St Louis Cardinals EV
Analysis: Again, the Phillies have been pounding the ball lately. I say go with the Phils again.
MLB Free Picks: Phillies
Total homeruns made in the game
Over 2 homeruns -140
Under 2 homeruns EV
Analysis: You’re not going to see a home run fest tonight with Moyer and Wainwright on the mound. The teams combined for five homers in Game 1 and none in Game 2. I think two sounds about right for tonight.
MLB Free Picks: Two home runs
Team with most hits in the game
Philadelphia Phillies 0 hits -120
St Louis Cardinals 0 hits -120
Analysis: I think the Cardinals will get a few more hits tonight than Philadelphia, likely, later in the game.
MLB Free Picks: Cardinals
Team with most homeruns in the game
Philadelphia Phillies 0 homeruns -120
St Louis Cardinals 0 homeruns -120
Analysis: This is a tough call, particularly since I don’t think many home runs will be hit tonight, but in the end, I say the Cardinals.
