SportsGrid’s Best MLB Daily Prop Picks
Pitching is Matthew Liberatore on the mound for the Cardinals, up against Dane Dunning for Texas. He’s been quite the revelation, stepping up big-time amidst some significant injuries to his team, like Jacob deGrom lost for the season. Dunning’s been doing his part, keeping the team competitive and allowing the lineup to work its magic.
The Cardinals, on the other hand, have been facing a daunting schedule, with this marking their 12th road game in just a couple of weeks. They’ve been on the move more than home, and the strain is showing. Last night they were up against the wall with Adam Wainwright on the mound, but things didn’t go their way.
So, what’s next for them? Can Liberatore be the guy to stop the Rangers’ lineup from hitting? It’s a tall order. The Cardinals are a falling knife, and as the saying goes, you don’t want to catch that.
Texas has a winning formula. They’ve got a good pitcher on the mound at home, a power-packed lineup, and they’re not priced overwhelmingly high. At -140, it’s a solid deal.
