On August 2, 2026 our 3-leg same game parlay for St. Louis Cardinals at Toronto Blue Jays is built from the bets our model already likes on their own. We rate the whole slip LONG-SHOT confidence. Every leg below is a bet our model already rates on its own, so you can see exactly what you are backing and what the book is paying for it.

The legs, one at a time

Alejandro Kirk (TOR) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-185)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Blue Jays host the Cardinals on August 2nd, all eyes should be on Alejandro Kirk’s total bases. While Kirk has shown flashes of brilliance, recent trends suggest he might struggle to surpass that 1.5 total. Over the past month, he’s been hitting just.220 against right-handed pitchers, and with the Cardinals sending Miles Mikolas to the mound, he’ll face a tough challenge. Mikolas has been effective lately, boasting a 3.30 ERA and limiting hitters to a.240 average. Additionally, the Blue Jays' lineup has seen increased strikeouts in high-leverage situations, which could spell trouble for Kirk in clutch moments. With the model predicting he’ll fall short of 1.5 total bases, the under seems like a savvy play. Given the matchup dynamics and Kirk's recent form, this bet aligns well with current trends, making it a compelling choice for Sunday’s action.

Lars Nootbaar (STL) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-182)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Toronto Blue Jays host the St. Louis Cardinals, all eyes will be on Lars Nootbaar, but betting the 'Under 1.5' total bases for him could be wise. Despite his potential, Nootbaar has faced a tough run lately, hitting just.217 over his last 15 games, struggling to find consistent contact. The Blue Jays’ pitching staff has been nothing short of dominant at home, with a collective ERA under 3.00 this season. They excel at limiting extra-base hits, which is crucial against a lineup that can be streaky. Moreover, Toronto's strong defense adds another layer of difficulty for Nootbaar's chances of racking up bases. Given these recent trends and the unsettling form he's in, it’s hard to envision him busting through that 1.5 mark today. Betting the under feels like a sound play as the Jays look to stifle the Cardinals’ offense.

Jimmy Crooks Over 0.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-143)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Blue Jays host the Cardinals, Jimmy Crooks stands out as a promising candidate to make a mark at the plate. In recent games, Crooks has shown a knack for getting on base, contributing to the offense in crucial moments. The Blue Jays’ lineup has been sizzling, with a collective batting average that ranks among the top in the league, creating ample opportunities for hitters like Crooks. Facing off against a Cardinals pitching staff that has struggled with consistency, particularly against left-handed hitters, Crooks is poised to capitalize. With the Blue Jays averaging over five runs per game lately, the chances of Crooks racking up hits, runs, or RBIs seem high. Given his recent form and the favorable matchup, betting on Crooks to go over 0.5 in hits, runs, or RBIs feels like a savvy play that aligns perfectly with the current momentum of both teams.
