MLB Odds and Schedule, June 3

St. Louis Cardinals (29-22) @ Chicago Cubs (22-29), 2:20 p.m. ET

  • CHC Starting Pitcher: Marcus Stroman (3-4, 3.95 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 7.89 K/9)
  • STL Starting Pitcher: Miles Mikolas (3-3, 2.67 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 6.97 K/9) 
  • Last 10: CHC is 5-5 in their last 10 games. STL is 6-4 in their last 10 games.
  • Last 10 – O/U: CHC is 6-4-0 in their last 10 games. STL is 5-4-1 in their last 10 games.
  • Last 10 – Score: CHC averaged 5.4 runs scored in their last 10 games. STL averaged 4.2 runs scored.
  • Last 10 – Runs Allowed: CHC allowed 5.9 runs on average in their last 10 games. STL allowed 4.2 runs.
  • MLB Free Pick: Pass
  • WHY?: There just isn’t really an angle here. The model puts this at 8.76 total runs, which is too close to the over/under and despite their records, these teams are pretty evenly matched, so there doesn’t seem to be any value on the F5 bets or the ML either. We’d recommend passing and focusing on the night games.
