St. Louis Cardinals vs San Francisco Giants: Ivan Herrera Over 1.5 Batter - Hits + Runs + RBIs (-105)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
For Ivan Herrera to get over 1.5 hits, runs, or RBIs tonight, he just needs to have a solid game against the San Francisco Giants. The Cardinals have been doing well at home, scoring about 0.4 runs more than their opponents on average in their last 12 games. Herrera's team has a decent record against left-handed pitchers this year, matching the league's overall performance.
On the other hand, the Giants have struggled against lefties, hitting lower than average. This makes it more likely that Herrera will get chances to contribute. However, the game is a toss-up since both teams are close in recent performance. If Herrera can find gaps in the Giants' lineup, he should be able to rack up the numbers we need.
St. Louis Cardinals vs San Francisco Giants: Thomas Saggese Over 0.5 Batter - Hits (-179)

Thomas Saggese has been playing well at Busch Stadium, where he's had a solid number of chances to hit. In his last 10 games there, he gets about 2.6 plate appearances, which means he has plenty of opportunities to get a hit. The Cardinals are facing the Giants, and the Giants have struggled against left-handed pitchers this year. This might give Saggese a good opening to find a hit.
While the Cardinals have come out ahead in their recent games, remember that Saggese could face tough moments too. The Giants have won five of their last ten, showing they can compete. Still, given his recent form and how the teams match up, Saggese getting over 0.5 hits looks like a smart bet.
St. Louis Cardinals vs San Francisco Giants: Ivan Herrera Over 0.5 Batter - Hits (-196)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
Tonight, Ivan Herrera needs to get at least one hit for the bet to win. The St. Louis Cardinals have been scoring well lately, averaging nearly half a run more than their opponents over the last 12 games. Herrera has a solid chance since the Giants' pitchers have struggled against left-handed batters this season, which is good news for him.
The risk here is that the game can be tight, and both teams are fairly evenly matched lately. Still, Herrera has a decent chance to find a way on base, especially with the Cardinals' strong performance against lefties. If he gets the right pitch, he should be able to come through and help us out.
