MLB Wild Card Best Bets, Odds, and Predictions for Phillies vs. Cardinals, Mariners vs. Blue Jays for October 8, 2022

Yesterday we won the game against Guardians. Today we have two more picks for you. They are Phillies vs. Cardinals and Mariners vs Blue Jays for October 8, 2022.

Aaron Nola will start for the Phillies in his first career playoff start. Miles Mikolas will get the ball for St. Louis. The Cardinals were leading by 2+ runs after the eighth inning yesterday. They lost 6-3 to the Philadelphia Phillies. Nolas threw against the Cardinals once this season and he didn't go well. The team that won yesterday has a good offense against right-handed pitchers. Their bullpen is a problem. It ranks 23rd in ERA and 11th in FIP. This should come into play again in the later innings. iReport.com:

There is 1 unit to win 1.1 units.

Robbie Ray and Kevin Gausman are the Blue Jays' starting pitchers. Ray has had problems with his home and away pitching this season. He's allowed 32 home runs on the road, compared to 33 at home. George Springer's wrist injury is not a problem. The Blue Jay's are expensive bets on their team to win. They have a lot of right-handed hitters. Their offense is loaded with righties. It's assumed that GeorgeSpringer will be able to play. Seattle is a better team than Toronto. Mariners are rested. Blue Jays are on brink of elimination. If they lose early, they have no chance of beating the Mariners.
