This game features two veteran pitchers that are both pitching well so this game isn’t going to see many runs as both will go deep into the game. The bullpens are good for both these teams as well. Head to head, both teams generally play each other to the Under. The total has gone Under in 5 of St. Louis' last 6 games on the road and the total has gone Under in 8 of Houston's last 8 games. St.Louis is 14-5 to the Under as a road underdog of +100 or higher this season. The quick turnaround for the Cardinals from playing a late Sunday night game in extra innings, to traveling with no rest today will mean their bats may be quiet for most of the game. It will be tough for them to get some runs off of Verlander. The Houston offense has been so hit and miss this season too, they may not generate much in this game either.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
