TOTAL SPECIAL (OFF 4-1-1 SATURDAY!)
(MLB) Atlanta vs. St. Louis,
Total: 8.00 | -108.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is an 8* TOTAL SPECIAL on the UNDER Braves/Cardinals.

Both teams have been playing to higher-scoring affairs of late, but we're expecting those trends to end this evening.

The Braves have seen the total go OVER the number in three straight after last night's 6-5 loss here. That's significant to note in our case, as Atlanta has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of its last six after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row.

The Cardinals have now seen the total go OVER the number in three straight as well.

Thee are two teams in the playoff hunt, and these are two starting pitchers that will be eager to close out the regular season on high notes.

The Braves turn to Jake Odorizzi, who is 5-5 with a 3.95 ERA, while the Cardinals counter with Adam Wainwright, who is 9-9 with a 3.11 ERA.

Ordorizzi gave up one run and struck out seven over six innings in a win over Pittsburgh in his last start. He's 2-1 with a 2.91 ERA in four career starts vs. the Cardinals.

Wainwright is 10-4 with a 3.46 ERA in 20 career outings vs. Atlanta.

Look for these two veterans to battle into the mid innings, and then expect this total to ultimately stay UNDER the posted number.

Good luck, NP
