3 UNIT = St Louis Cardinals @ Boston Red Sox - CARDINALS TEAM TOTAL OVER 3 RUNS (-130)
Listed Pitchers: Wacha vs Lackey
(Note: I'm risking 3.00 units to win 2.50 units)
Basically all sportsbooks should offer team totals, especially during the World Series. This bet is for St Louis to score over 3 runs. If they score 3 runs it would be a push and our bet would be cancelled, 4 or more runs we win, and 2 or fewer runs and we lose. John Lackey will take the mound for Boston. He faced the Cardinals in Game 2 vs Wacha and the Cardinals won that game 4-2. Lackey went 6.1 innings allowing 5 hits and 3 earned runs with 6 strikeouts and 2 walks. He also pitched a scoreless inning of relief vs them in Game 4. During the postseason Lackey is 2-1 with a 3.26 ERA, .219 OBA and 0.95 WHIP. St Louis struggles against lefties for some reason, but they are one of the best hitting teams vs right handed pitcher. In the Cardinals two games with southpaw Lester starting they scored just 1 run in each, but against Boston's righties they scored 4, 5, and 2 runs. Overall the Cardinals have Craig, Molina, and Beltran hitting over .300 in this World Series. They've got some great numbers vs righties as well with Craig hitting .500, Molina hitting .417, Beltran .333, and Holliday .308. After that it falls off, but Manager Mike Matheny will have those four players hitting at the top of the lineup. I also like the fact that Allen Craight will be able to focus only on his plate appearances with the DH in play in Boston. We've seen Cardinals hitters step up in big games in the past, and I expect the same tonight with their backs against the wall. Take the Cards team total OVER 3 runs, as we hope Wacha can lead them to a big Game 6 victory and force a Halloween Night Game 7.
