Mets vs Cardinals Picks
This game triggered one of our Action PRO betting systems, powered by Evan Abrams.
The system: Bet the Under when both teams have solid win percentages (51%–100%) while the public is heavily favoring the over (less than 35% of the bets on the Under).
In matchups between winning teams, sportsbooks often inflate totals due to perceived offensive capability, yet these teams also tend to have stronger pitching and tighter late-game execution — leading to a profitable edge on the under.
It's also worth mentioning that the weather in St. Louis on Wednesday should be pitcher-friendly, with temperatures in the low-60s and cross-field winds, leading to a -14% home run factor and -12% extra-base-hit factor, per BallParkPal.
Pick: Under 7.5
