Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Cardinals host the Phillies, all eyes will be on Nathan Church, who’s currently battling a tough stretch at the plate. Despite his potential, Church has been struggling to find his rhythm, with a noticeable dip in contact rates against right-handers. With St. Louis's pitching staff, particularly their starter, who boasts a solid strikeout rate and has kept hitters off balance, Church could be in for a long night.
The Cardinals have also proven adept at neutralizing opposing batters recently, holding teams under their averages more often than not. Given Church’s recent performance and the way the Cardinals have pitched, it’s reasonable to expect him to finish the night without a hit. This matchup aligns perfectly with the trend of unders in similar situations, making the under on 0.5 hits a savvy pick worth considering as the game unfolds.
