MLB odds series for our Cardinals Diamondbacks prediction and pick. Dakota Hudson gets the call for the Cardinals, while Madison Bumgarner will go to the bump for the Diamondbacks. Dakota Hudson had a 2.76 ERA on June 7. That ERA is now at 4.17. He has been going in the wrong direction over the past two months. In five starts from June 12 through…

The St. Louis Cardinals will play against the Washington Nationals on Thursday. Both teams are playing great and have had two high scoring games between them. The last game was decided in the final innings. The Nationals will take it with a pinch of salt and the Cardinals will take a lesson from it as both will look to improve in the next…

The trend of dominant pitching and well-rounded teams in MLB continued this year as the NL East went on a great run with the Phillies, Mets, and Braves all making a long streak at the end of the season. With Sandy Alcantara pitching at the rate that he was, and Max Fried and Kyle Wright both most likely making their individual Cy Young pushes this…

With the All-Star break in the rearview, the 2022 MLB season is about to kick into high gear. The MLB trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and this year's deadline could see one of the game's best players get moved in Juan Soto. Once the deadline passes, the race for the playoffs will be on with just over two months of the regular season…

With the 2022 MLB All-Star festivities in the books, it's time for a quick round of bold predictions before the second half of the season gets underway on Thursday. What follows are 10 bold predictions for the remainder of the 2022 season, focusing mostly on individual players rather than teams since there will be plenty of postseason predictions…

Back in February of 2021, I thought it would be a fun idea to project what the Cardinals lineup would look like in four years, 2025. How much has changed in two years? Well, back then, I remained in denial about the designated hitter so I didn't even predict a 2025 DH. And while the players themselves are perhaps still possible, I'd already make…

Atlanta's been thorough at the plate of late, and can offset the advantage it may give up to start on the mound today. With St. Louis' bullpen vulnerable against the Braves' hot bats, see why our MLB betting picks like the Cardinals to get piled upon. Two NL teams looking to improve their playoff position will meet at Truist Park on Tuesday night…

Welcome National League Central fans to an opening day matchup between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals. With both squads looking to start off the 2022 season on the right foot, let's take a sneak peek at our MLB odds series, where our Pirates-Cardinals prediction and pick will be unveiled. The Pirates enter 2022 with a…

First of all, you don't have to tell me twice... I'm very aware that the St. Louis Cardinals are risk-averse, trade-averse, "make a big splash"-averse, and generally fun-averse at the MLB trade deadline. While John Mozeliak and Bill DeWitt have made some big off-season moves (hello Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado), they're typically conservative…

With MLB free agency winding down, the league is beginning to take shape. Some teams have drastically improved their chances of competing in 2023 based on swift offseason moves. The New York Mets just pulled off a stunner to land Carlos Correa after the shortstop had previously agreed to a deal with the San Francisco Giants. Other teams such as the…

St. Louis looks to win their third game in a row and gain ground on first place in the division with another dub in D.C. tonight. We're all over the road team with Erick Fedde pitching for the Nats. Read more in our Cardinals vs. Nationals betting picks. The line is moving in favor of the Washington Nationals today. Dakota Hudson will be making his…

The Washington Nationals will finish a four-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals as the teams meet at Busch Stadium. Now, it's time to continue our MLB odds series with a Nationals-Cardinals prediction and pick. On Wednesday, the Cardinals completed an insane ninth-inning comeback to stun the Nationals in front of an ecstatic crowd at Busch…

The Cubs are getting ready to play ball and take on St. Louis and Milwaukee for first place in the NL Central. The three teams have more time to enhance their rosters before the start of the 2023 season, but as it stands now the Cardinals are less likely to have an easy jog to the division title. And that's true even after their signing of…

Happy Friday baseball fans and bettors alike! The second-place St. Louis Cardinals visit the Washington Nationals in the nation's capital to begin a three-game set. Join us for our MLB odds series, where our Cardinals-Nationals prediction and pick will be revealed. With stars Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado back in the lineup for tonight's game,…

Find out in our MLB betting picks and predictions for Cardinals vs. Blue Jays. The Toronto Blue Jays post-All-Star game onslaught continued last night, as they blasted the St. Louis Cardinals…

We're a third of the way through the 2022 MLB regular season, and offense has slowly but steadily improved league-wide just in time for summer. We have a decent sample size of games and data with which to work, so now seems like a good time to analyze the futures betting odds for AL pennant, NL pennant, and World Series winners. Let's dive right…

A diaper dandy is in store as two of the most historically successful franchises in all of baseball go head-to-head as the St. Louis Cardinals travel to Fenway Park to take on the Boston Red Sox in a highly anticipated inter-league matchup! It is time to look at our MLB odds series, where our Cardinals-Red Sox prediction and pick will be…

Believe it or not, the Baltimore Orioles - who previously occupied dead last as a moneymaker for bettors - returned major winning potential ahead of the MLB All-Star break. The same franchise that labored to a 254-455 record, and finished a combined 191 games behind the American League East powers from 2017-2021, would have won bettors the most…

A series opener between the St. Louis Cardinals (60-48) and Colorado Rockies (48-63) is on deck Tuesday at 8:40 PM ET, at Coors Field.

If my math is correct, and if the Cincinnati Reds haven't altered things since their final swath of decisions from earlier in the week, only 10 members of the Opening Day 28 were actually on the Opening Day roster this time last year. On top of that, not a single member of this year's bullpen was in last year's Opening Day bullpen (with the caveat…

During the Winter Meetings we all got a big laugh at Jon Heyman tweeting that "Arson Judge" was heading to the San Francisco Giants. A much bigger story dropped at almost exactly the same time when Bradford William Davis reported on Dr. Meredith Wills' latest round of research for Insider, revealing that MLB used at least two (and possibly three)…

For years, the Cardinals have been guided by past championships that set expectations for future contention. A new force steered them into the coming season: the present - and its demand to win. "We realize the importance of 2019," says John Mozeliak, president of baseball operations. "I've always been one for the longer-term decision making. But…

With the All-Star break in the rearview, the 2022 MLB season is about to kick into high gear. The MLB trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and this year's deadline could see one of the game's best players get moved in Juan Soto. Once the deadline passes, the race for the playoffs will be on with just over two months of the regular season…

Two of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball are scheduled to go head-to-head Wednesday night, with a spot in the National League Division Series on the line. Adam Wainwright will head to the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals at Dodger Stadium to face Max Scherzer and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Wild Card Game. The longtime aces were two…

Christian Walker blasted a 461 foot home run off Giants pitcher Alex Cobb last night which is the 18th longest home run hit of the season. WagerTalk content contributor Kyle Kargel provides his daily home run prop picks and predictions for Tuesday, August 16 with odds provided by PointsBet. Interested in joining WagerTalk at the Westgate's…

What was expected to be a long organizational rebuild by the Milwaukee Brewers quickly shifted into overdrive late last January when, in a 24-hour span, they traded for Christian Yelich and signed Lorenzo Cain to the largest free agent contract in team history. The moves couldn't have worked out better. Both were named to the All-Star Team, and…

It's not every day that arguably the best young player in Major League Baseball becomes available via trade, but Washington Nationals superstar Juan Soto fits the bill. The term "Herschel Walker-type deal" has been thrown around regarding Soto's asking price from Washington, and at 23-years old and under team control until 2025, it's actually quite…

Free-agent catcher Willson Contreras is signing a five-year deal with the Cardinals, a league source confirmed to The Athletic on Wednesday.

The St. Louis Cardinals (25-20) are looking for another big outing from a batter on a roll against the Milwaukee Brewers (29-17) on Saturday at 2:15 PM ET, at Busch Stadium. Paul Goldschmidt is currently on a two-game homer streak. Milwaukee's (to win) Adrian Houser starts versus St. Louis' () Matthew Liberatore. The insights in the following…

With the trade deadline looming, there could be a couple of Chicago hitters on the move before the first pitch. With that said, we love St. Louis to cover the run line. Find out more in our MLB betting picks and predictions for the Cubs vs. Cardinals. With the trade deadline set to expire today at 6 pm ET, the Chicago Cubs have more to lose than…

The St. Louis Cardinals will look to stay on the winning track when they host the visiting Cincinnati Reds at 2:15pm ET Saturday in the middle game of a three-game series at Busch Stadium. The National League Central-leading Cardinals (33-26, 17-11 home) snapped a three-game losing streak by blanking the Reds 2-0 on Friday night in the series…

At the turn of the new year, Fangraphs' Effectively Wild - one of the best baseball podcasts around - dropped an episode where they discussed what baseball will look like in the 2020s. It is worth the listen if you have an hour, it's fun to imagine what the game will look like over the next ten years. Here at the Snakepit, we have spent most…

Today's MLB slate provides a lot of opportunities to profit. With many series coming down to the final game today, there are a few games in particular that are intriguing. While much of the focus in the sports world is on today's NBA Playoff games, there are some very exciting matchups in the MLB as well. Below, you will find three of the best bets…

Washington Nationals star Juan Soto may get traded in the upcoming days. The team is not under any obligation to deal him, but they have been trying to extend him for months, without much success. Months ago, they made a 13-year, $350 million offer that was rejected by the player and his camp. This weekend, they had another approach rejected: this…

As I noted Friday, MLB Network host Greg Amsinger told St. Louis sports station 101 ESPN that he expects to see free-agent shortstop Trea Turner in a Cardinals uniform on Opening Day, 2023. To recap for those who missed it: "He's the perfect fit, the missing link, and if the Cardinals don't recognize that they're missing out," Amsinger said. "He…

The St. Louis Cardinals have plenty of work - and winning - to do in the second half of the season if they are to make the postseason. Nevertheless, they seem to have what it takes to contend for at least the National League Central division title. This is why they are going to be fun to watch the rest of the way. With that said, here are three…

Like a lot of Yankees this time of the year, Nestor Cortes is sporting a beard for the holidays because managing partner Hal Steinbrenner's appearance policy can't be enforced in the offseason. By spring training, the All-Star left-hander will be clean shaved. And 100% healthy. He's getting there after a strained left groin forced him out of the…

Last year's star-studded free-agent shortstop class is followed by another one, possibly even better than the previous. This one includes four of the top-10 players in fWAR among shortstops, including Dansby Swanson, who ranked second (6.4). Swanson is one of the best defensive shortstops in the game, ranking second in defensive runs above average.…

PNC Park hosts a late morning tilt between NL Central rivals on Sunday. The Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals square off in a standalone window in front of a national audience. The matchup is also the final game of a three-game weekend set, with the Cardinals winning the first two contests. St. Louis is 22-18 overall and Pittsburgh is…

Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas begins what he hopes will be a 200-inning season when he takes the mound on Saturday for the St. Louis Cardinals against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Busch Stadium in St. Louis. Because of numerous injuries, the 33-year-old Mikolas has reached the 200-inning mark in only one season (2018). Last year he started just nine…

A National League showdown gets underway when the New York Mets (25-14) host the St. Louis Cardinals in an early afternoon battle on Thursday. This matchup features two top 10 batting offenses in the majors. New York is third in the MLB with a batting average of.251. Meanwhile, St. Louis has a batting average of.247, which ranks seventh. Dakota…

The Arizona Diamondbacks entered the 2020 season considered by some to be a possible World Series contender. They won't have to worry about that in 2021 after a 25-35 record in 2020. Early MLB power rankings were released for the 2021 season after the Los Angeles' Dodgers took home the World Series title on Tuesday night and you have to scroll down…

With the Milwaukee Brewers 2022 season set to start on Thursday, it is that time again to give my previews and predictions for each team in the NL Central. With Spring Training finished, the rosters for each team are essentially set and the players that each team have will be the ones they will roll with into the season. For the second year in a…

The St. Louis Cardinals' season begins today! Jack Flaherty is set to take the mound at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. Once Luis Castillo delivers the first pitch to leadoff man Tommy Edman, the division race will be on. Opening Day is my favorite day of the year, so I hope everyone out there is able to take some time to enjoy a little…

Don't look now, but the St. Louis Cardinals are in first place in the National League Central for the first time since April 25. Part of it has to do with the Milwaukee Brewers going on a nine-game losing streak, of course. But the Cardinals have had some key contributions throughout the season, especially of late, that allowed them to close the…

To me, the St. Louis Cardinals are one of the 10 best teams in baseball entering the 2022 season. So it was surprising that their odds to win the World Series - 30/1 - are 13th in baseball as of January 18 on WynnBet. The teams ahead of the Cardinals are the Los Angeles Dodgers, Houston Astros, San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, New York Mets,…

Through 61 games, the St. Louis Cardinals are 34-27 and lead the National League Central by 0.5 games. The Milwaukee Brewers, meanwhile, trail by 0.5 games after going 2-8 in their last 10 games. The Pittsburgh Pirates are in third place (24-34) while the Chicago Cubs (23-36) and Cincinnati Reds (21-39) continue to fall out of contention. So what…
