Super Early MLB *MONEYMAKER*
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Cincinnati,
Total: 9.50 | -120.00 Over
Result: Loss
Rating: 8/10*

The first two games of this series have seen a total of just 10 runs scored, and I predict another low-scoring encounter in the series-finale Sunday afternoon.

Home Bailey (3-5, 7.32 ERA) will take the ball for Cincinnati. He's been very inconsistent lately, holding four of his last six opponents to two runs or fewer and getting lit up for a total of 15 runs in the other two. The Cards' bats are ice cold at the moment, so I think Bailey can hold his own today.

The Cardinals will send Adam Wainwright (11-5, 4.89 ERA) to the mound. The veteran is ready to go after missing two weeks with mid-back tightness, and posted a 3.95 ERA in four starts during July. The ERA was much bloated by a sub-par outing against Miami to start the month, and I like Wainwright on extra rest here.

My selection is an 8* play on Under 9.5 runs.
