San Francisco Giants vs. St. Louis Cardinals Betting Odds
San Francisco Giants vs. St. Louis Cardinals Best Picks
Carlos Rodon has been an incredible pick-up for San Francisco this year. After finishing fifth in the Cy Young voting last year, he is gunning for the top spot, and he isn't allowing anything to get in his way. Today, his hit prop is an absolute joke. Going against a middle-of-the-road St. Louis lineup, his line sits at four and a half. He has given up four hits in only one of his starts this year.
Carlos Rodon Under 4.5 Hits Allowed (-112)
Pairing with that pick, Rodon's strikeout line is another great play for bettors. It sits at 7.5, and only once this season has he not struck out, at least, eight batters. These two picks could be parlayed for (+271).
Carlos Rodon Over 7.5 Strikeouts (-104)

With two studs starting, runs will be hard to come by. Expect a low-scoring affair that will not see runs until the middle innings.
No Runs to be Scored in the First Inning (-132)
San Francisco Giants vs. St. Louis Cardinals Prediction
Two great pitchers are dueling today in a can't miss game. It will be low-scoring, and whatever team can get on the board first will likely win. You would love to see the old vet take down the young gun, but this isn't a Disney movie.
Giants (-154) & Under 7 Runs (-102)
