Both teams have batted well this series and no wonder, seeing that they are both top 10 in batting metrics. Today on the mound for both teams, are extremely hittable pitchers in Madison Bumgarner and Jake Woodford. There's liability to be 5 runs minimum on the first five innings with the way these teams hit (top 10 hitting teams) and both Pitchers having a 5.5 and higher ERA. Woodford lost both his only starts of the season, giving up 6 runs to the Braves in his last home start and 3 runs to Milwaukee in his last road start, while Bumgarner gave up 5 runs in a 10 run blowout vs the Dodgers earlier this month, and gave up all 5 runs to the Marlins in another loss. Cardinals should win this Matchup, but the better play is on the over

Official Play: Over 10 runs

Side Bet: Cardinals -1.5
