St. Louis Cardinals at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s St. Louis Cardinals at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The St. Louis Cardinals (87-61) start a 3-game series against the San Diego Padres (81-66) Tuesday at Petco Park at 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Cardinals vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Cardinals lead 3-0

The Cardinals have had a good September thus far, winning 11 of the 17 games, including 3 of their last 4. If the playoffs began today, St. Louis would be the No. 3 seed in the NL as they’re 8 1/2 games ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central.

After a shaky start to the month, the Padres have reeled off 3 wins in a row. With the season nearing a close, San Diego is fending off the Philadelphia Phillies and the Brewers for the No. 2 wild-card spot in the NL.

Cardinals at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 6, Padres 3

Money line

Take the CARDINALS (-108) to secure a win on the road against the Padres. St. Louis hasn’t lost to San Diego this season and they’ve won 6 consecutive meetings with the Padres.

Run line/Against the spread

CARDINALS -1.5 (+155) is an enticing wager at plus odds as I believe St. Louis is the better team in this contest. Clevinger has struggled in recent starts for the Padres, giving me confidence the Cardinals can win this game by multiple runs.

For those that aren’t comfortable taking the Cardinals to win by 2-plus runs, you can get CARDINALS -0.5 FIRST 5 INNINGS (+120) at plus odds as well.

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 RUNS (-120) is the play here with both pitchers in this game giving up multiple runs in recent starts. When the Cardinals and Padres are at their best, they are both capable of scoring 7 or 8 runs by themselves.

The Over has hit in 5 straight home games for the Padres. Also, the Over is 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings between the Cardinals and the Padres in San Diego.

St. Louis Cardinals at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s St. Louis Cardinals at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Diego Padres (23-17) go for a three-game sweep of the visiting St. Louis Cardinals (23-17) on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. First pitch at Petco Park is scheduled for 7:08 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Cardinals vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Padres lead 2-0

Despite missing three key position players, San Diego took the first two games of this series – 5-4 Friday and 13-3 Saturday. SS Fernando Tatis Jr., RF Wil Myers 1B Eric Hosmer and utilitymen Jurickson Profar and Jorge Mateo have been unavailable due to COVID-19 issues.

St. Louis hopes LHP Kwang Hyun Kim will salvage the series and snap the club’s 2-game slide. He is 1-0 with a 2.74 ERA (23 IP, 7 ER), 1.26 WHIP, 9.4 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 in 5 starts this season.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 6 K at Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday – Cardinals won 6-1 in 11 innings
  • Career vs. Padres: 0-0, 7.36 ERA (3 2/3 IP, 3 ER), 5 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 1 postseason start (Game 1 of 2020 NL Wild Card Series) – Cards won 7-4

LHP Ryan Weathers, who made his MLB debut in last year’s playoffs, is projected to start for the Friars. The 21-year-old rookie is 2-1 with an 0.81 ERA (22 1/3 IP, 2 ER), 0.72 WHIP, 8.1 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 in 3 starts and 5 relief appearances.

  • Last outing: Win, 3 IP in relief, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 K at San Francisco Giants May 9 – Padres won 11-1
  • Career as starter: 0-0, 0.00 ERA (10 1/3 IP, 0 ER), 2 H, 4 BB, 9 K in 3 outings
  • Career vs. Cardinals: No appearances

  • Over/Under: 7 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Cardinals 4, Padres 3

Money line (ML)

ST. LOUIS (+105) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. The Cardinals are 5-0 in Kim’s starts this season. The South Korean southpaw allowed just 1 run in each of his last four starts.

It should be tough night for a depleted Padres lineup, which is missing Tatis, Myers and Hosmer.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. While the Cardinals feature a majors-best ATS record, the -200 price on St. Louis +1.5 is too much chalk.

ATS records: Cardinals 25-15 | Padres 21-19

Over/Under (O/U)

AVOID as the projected score equals 7 runs.

The lean would be to the Over 7 (-110) the way this series has gone. Plus, the O/U is 3-0-1 in Kim’s starts this season  and 2-1 in Weather’s starts.

O/U records: Cardinals 18-18-3 | Padres 18-22

St. Louis Cardinals at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s St. Louis Cardinals at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The St. Louis Cardinals (23-16) and San Diego Padres (22-17) play Game 2 of a three-game series Saturday at Petco Park. First pitch is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET (on FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Cardinals vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Padres lead 1-0

Despite being without SS Fernando Tatis Jr., RF Wil Myers, 1B Eric Hosmer and utility players Jurickson Profar and Jorge Mateo due to COVID-19 issues, the Padres won Friday’s series opener 5-4.

RHP Adam Wainwright is projected to start for St. Louis. The 16-year veteran is 2-3 with a 3.80 ERA (42 2/3 IP, 18 ER), 1.22 WHIP, 8.9 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 7 starts this season.

  • Last outing: Win, 8 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 5 K in the Cardinals’ 2-0 home shutout of the Colorado Rockies Sunday.
  • Career vs. Padres (regular season): 7-4, 2.19 ERA (82 1/3 IP, 20 ER), 1.13 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 in 12 starts and 3 relief appearances.

RHP Chris Paddack is the Padres’ projected starter. He is 1-3 with a 4.78 ERA (26 1/3 IP, 14 ER), 1.41 WHIP, 8.9 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 through 6 starts.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 3 IP (due to a pitch-count limit after coming off the injured list), 0 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 4 K at the San Francisco Giants Sunday – Padres won 11-1.
  • Career vs. Cardinals (regular season): 1-0, 0.93 ERA (9 2/3 IP, 1 ER), 3 H, 5 BB, 12 K in 2 starts in 2019.

  • Against the spread/ATS: Cardinals +1.5 (-190) | Padres -1.5 (+155)
  • Over/Under: 7 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Cardinals 4, Padres 2

Money line (ML)

ST. LOUIS (+110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Wainwright was spectacular in his last start, just missing a complete-game shutout by two outs.

Don’t let his 2021 road stats (0-1, 6.52 ERA, 9 2/3 IP, 7 ER) scare you away. They’re inflated due to a rough outing at the Cincinnati Reds (2 2/3 IP, 6 ER) in his season debut. He held the Washington Nationals to 1 earned run and struck out a season-high 10 batters over 7 innings in his other road start.

Sure, the Padres won Friday, but the odds are against them with Tatis, Myers and Hosmer out.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. The Cardinals are tied with the San Francisco Giants for the majors’ best ATS record, but the -190 juice on St. Louis +1.5 is too high for my liking.

ATS records: Cardinals 25-14 | Padres 20-19

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 7 (-105) is worth a HALF-UNIT wager. The Under is 5-1 in Wainwright’s last six starts, and both clubs feature decent bullpens. San Diego relievers are first in the NL with a 2.73 ERA, while the Cardinals are sixth at 3.71.

St. Louis Cardinals at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s St. Louis Cardinals at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

In a rematch of a 2020 NL Wild Card series, the St. Louis Cardinals (23-15) and San Diego Padres (21-17) open a three-game set Friday at Petco Park. First pitch is slated for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Cardinals vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

During a mid-week series in which the Padres took 2 of 3 at the Colorado Rockies, San Diego lost 5 position players due to COVID-19 issues. Star SS Fernando Tatis Jr. and RF Wil Myers tested positive and were placed on the injured list, while 1B Eric Hosmer and utility players Jurickson Profar and Jorge Mateo also landed on the IL due to contact-tracing protocols.

None of the five are expected to play in this first regular-season meeting between the two NL contenders. The Padres won last year’s best-of-3 Wild Card Series by winning the final two games after dropping the opener.

The Padres had the day off Thursday, while the Cardinals shut out the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0 to take 2 of 3 to start their current 6-game road trip.

RHP Johan Oviedo is Friday’s projected starter for St. Louis. The Cuban native is 0-1 with a 4.61 ERA (13 2/3 IP, 7 ER), 1.02 WHIP, 8.6 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 in 2 starts and 1 relief appearance. Oviedo pitched Sunday for Class AAA Memphis and yielded 4 ER over 2 2/3 IP. This will be the first time he faces the Padres in his young career.

  • Last MLB outing: Loss, 4 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 0 BB, 2 K in the Cardinals’ 7-2 home loss to the New York Mets May 5.
  • 2021 as starter: 0-1, 7.00 ERA (9 IP, 7 ER), 8 H, 2 BB, 9 K in 2 outings.

RHP Joe Musgrove is expected to start for the Friars. He is 2-4 with a 3.00 ERA (39 IP, 13 ER), 0.85 WHIP, 12.5 K/9 and 1.6 BB/9 in 7 starts.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5 IP, 4 ER, 8 H, 0 BB, 7 K in the Padres’ 7-1 defeat at the San Francisco Giants Saturday.
  • Career vs. Cardinals: 1-7, 5.92 ERA (48 2/3 IP, 32 ER), 1.38 WHIP, 10.7 K/9 in 9 starts.

  • Over/Under: 7 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Cardinals 5, Padres 4

Money line (ML)

ST. LOUIS (+150), which has won 5 of its last 6 games, is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Granted, the Cardinals will be throwing an inexperienced starting pitcher, but the value is there since the Padres are without Tatis, Myers and Hosmer.

Plus, since Musgrove tossed the Padres’ first no-hitter in franchise history – in his second start of the season April 9 to improve to 2-0 – he is 0-4 with a 4.88 ERA (24 IP, 13 ER) in 5 starts.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. The Cardinals have the majors’ second-best ATS record, but I have no interest in laying the -145 juice on St. Louis +1.5.

The alternate line of -1.5 (+260) is tempting but AVOID with Oviedo getting the start.

ATS records: Cardinals 24-14 | Padres 20-18

Over/Under (O/U)

Back OVER 7 (-105) to win a QUARTER UNIT because neither starting pitcher is worthy of an Under play. PASS if the line climbs above 7.
