These two teams have gone over in eight of their last nine games. The Cardinals are averaging over 5 runs per game in their last five games. The Nationals have gone over 5 runs per game on average in their last three games. Lynn hasn’t put out his best lately in the month of June, but did much better in his last two starts. However, he has gone over in four of his last six starts in June and his WHIP is at 1.30. The total has gone Over in 5 of St. Louis' last 7 games on the road. The Nationals have started to hit again, so they can get to him for some runs at home in this spot, as their offense is starting to heat up. Gore has struggled in his starts in June and his ERA is 3.47 with a WHIP creeping up now to 1.368. The combined score in the team's games with opponents and with Gore pitching, have gone over in all of his last six starts this season. When Gore is off the mound and the bullpen steps in, they will give up more runs as the Nationals have hit the bottom of the league as one of the worst bullpens so far. This game will see a lot of runs and there is value in the Over.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
