Cardinals vs. Giants Best MLB Prop Bets

Giants Best MLB Prop Bet

• Brendan Donovan OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-142)

Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan had quite the game on Tuesday night. After two days on the pine, he smacked four doubles with one run scored and one RBI in the Cardinals’ 9-8 win over the Giants.

Donovan has been putting together one of the best seasons of his career. He’s up to 10 home runs and 31 doubles, and is currently batting a career-best .287 with a .775 OPS.

The infielder has gone Over 1.5 HRR in six straight games and seven of his last nine. He usually bats leadoff for the Cardinals, which gives him plenty of opportunities to get driven in if he gets on base.

Donovan is 3 for 8 off Brubaker in his career with one home run, and he should keep up his hot hitting on Wednesday night.

Cardinals vs. Giants Prediction and Pick

Sonny Gray’s numbers may not look that great with a 4.33 ERA and 1.22 WHIP this season, but he’s been finishing the year strong. 

The right-hander threw six innings of one-run ball against the Brewers last time out, and has allowed a total of six runs in his last three starts. That stretch started with 5.1 innings against the Giants, allowing just two hits but walking four and allowing three runs on September 7.

Nevertheless, Gray has given the Cardinals a chance to win in most of his starts. He is 14-8 on the season and his team is 21-10 in his starts.

The Giants have been reeling and pulled Robbie Ray from this start to end his season. Look for the Cardinals to stay hot on Wednesday night.

Pick: Cardinals moneyline (-108)
