Orioles vs. Cardinals Best MLB Prop Bets
Orioles Best MLB Prop Bet
- Pete Alonso OVER 1.5 Bases (+119)
Pete Alonso is doing everything he can to keep the O’s alive in the playoff race. An 0-for-4 Sunday ended a 14-game hitting streak for the slugger. He went 26 for 54 (.481) with seven home runs and two doubles in that span.
I’ll happily take these plus odds for Alonso to stay hot against a struggling Cardinals squad.
Orioles vs. Cardinals Prediction and Pick
These two teams are fairly even right now, but the O’s have had to deal with tougher competition, and they just won a series against the Rays.
It’s a close call, but I think Bassitt has shown enough to give me confidence in him and the Orioles as road underdogs in St. Louis tonight.
Pick: Orioles +116
