MLB Pick
- Over 8 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook (check our Caesars Sportsbook Review)
Washington Nationals vs. St. Louis Cardinals
Friday, July 26, 2024 – 08:15 PM ET at Busch Stadium
The AI Model believes the Nationals and Cardinals will combine for 8.8 runs. However, you can pick up an Over 8 at Caesars Sportsbook at -110 odds. That’s where the value is in this matchup.
MacKenzie Gore Keeps Putting Guys On Base!
The Nationals have an excellent lefty on their hands in MacKenzie Gore. But it’ll take some time until he’s elite. Gore has allowed a .340 wOBA to his last 75 batters. He’s also allowed more line drives and fly balls than ground balls induced over the previous month.
Until that changes, he’ll ultimately give up some runs. The Cardinals have struck out just 15.4% of the time against lefties over the last 30 days with their projected lineup. They’ll find their way on base.
Sonny Gray’s Regression
The Cardinals will throw Sonny Gray. While he’s still adding a high strikeout rate, he’s watched his last 103 batters hit a .258 ISO and wOBA of .396. That’s not ace-like!
Meanwhile, the Nationals have five players in the projected lineup, hitting an ISO of at least .208 and wOBA of .309 against righties.
The Pick
The Over makes a ton of sense for tonight’s matchup. Thank the AI Model!
