Will Warren is looking to build on throwing 6.2 shutout innings last time out. He’s had a habit of alternating good and bad starts, though, as shown by the six runs allowed in his previous start.

Cardinals vs. Yankees Best MLB Prop Bets
Will Warren OVER 4.5 Strikeouts (-107)
Will Warren is at just over a strikeout per inning this season with 109 punchouts in 108.2 frames. He’s coming off striking out seven Cubs in 6.2 innings, and he had five punchouts in just three innings against the Phillies in his previous start.
The right-hander has gone OVER 4.5 strikeouts in 14 of 22 starts this season, and he’s been much better at home (63 strikeouts in 48 innings) than on the road (46 K in 60.2 IP).
Cardinals vs. Yankees Prediction and Pick
I can only look the Yankees’ way tonight.
Pallante isn’t trustworthy despite recent success, and most of Warren’s shaky starts have come on the road.
I contemplated taking the run line for a nice plus-odds price, but I’ll play it safe with the moneyline tonight.
Pick: Yankees -153
