Cubs vs. Cardinals Best Bets

Sunday, September 4, 2022 - 2:15PM ET

PICK: St. Louis Cardinals Team Total Over 4 -120

PICK: Paul Goldschmidt Over 1.5 Total Bases +130

PICK: Paul Goldschmidt 3+ Total Bases +250

The St. Louis Cardinals look to complete a sweep of the Chicago Cubs as they finalize their 3 game series today at Busch stadium, making this a good time to get in on our exclusive BetMGM offer ➡️ here ⬅️ where you get $20 free and a risk-free bet up to $1,000 if you're a new customer.

The Cards took the first two games of the series by scores of 8-0 and 8-4. St. Louis currently has a 7.5 game lead on the Milwaukee Brewers atop the National League Central. The Cards will face Marcus Stroman today as the Cubs right hander will make his 19th start of the season.

Stroman is 3-6 with a 3.98 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. On the road he has a stellar 2.05 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP but he has struggled mightily against the Cardinals this season. In 3 starts against them, he has an ERA of 9.77 and a WHIP of 1.85 while St. Louis batters are hitting .382 against him.

That includes MVP candidate Paul Goldschmidt who is 7/15 lifetime against Stroman with a Double and 3 Home Runs. Goldie will see primarily 3 pitches today and the is Sinker/Slider/Fastball.

Below you will see his Avg/ISOs against those pitches:

Sinker .384 AVG/.313 ISO

Slider .293 AVG/.232 ISO

Fastball .296 AVG/.253 ISO

Goldschmidt is hitting .303 against Chicago pitching this season and has an ISO of .303. He has cleared 1.5 Total Bases in 6 of 8 home games against them and he has 3+ Total Bases in 4 of those games.

I like Goldie and the Cardinals offense to get to Stroman again today as they look for the series sweep, so bet the St. Louis Cardinals Team Total Over 4 (-120), Paul Goldschmidt Over 1.5 Total Bases (+130) and Paul Goldschmidt 3+ Total Bases (+250) with BetMGM ➡️ here ⬅️ and claim an awesome new customer bonus while you're at it - including a $20 free bet, just for signing up!
