Analysis
Bet Over 8 runs (-106) — 1 unit. Stats Insider projects the over 55% of the time; -106 requires only 51.5%. This is the clearest value, though exactly eight runs pushes. Bet Yankees moneyline only if it improves to -165 or better — 0.5 unit. New York has home field and the stronger projected starter in Cam Schlittler (2.04 ERA), but the current -180 requires a 64.3% win rate versus the model’s 63%. Bet Cardinals moneyline only at +175 or better — 0.25 unit. At the current +166, their 37% modeled win probability does not quite clear the 37.6% break-even point. Don’t force it. Consider Yankees ML + Over 8 same-game parlay only at +190 or better — 0.25 unit maximum. It aligns New York’s pitching/matchup advantage with the model’s strongest total projection. Bottom line: The over is the only obvious opportunity. The side markets are essentially 50/50 propositions after accounting for price. The article recommends St. Louis ML and +1.5, but that conflicts with its own numbers: Cardinals +1.5 is modeled at 54%, while the current -137 price requires 57.8%. I’d pass at that number. 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
