In this series the under has only hit twice in the last 9 games for St. Louis, and I like that trend to continue through Tuesday. Both of these teams allow more than nine hits and right around five runs per game, which rank near the bottom of the MLB. Offensively, the Cardinals are in the top five in batting average, on base percentage and slugging percentage, while San Francisco is in the top five in home runs. Neither team is sound defensively either so you never know when costly errors can turn into more runs.

I'm siding with the over 9 runs here.
