MLB Prop Bets: Cardinals vs Brewers

Paul Goldschmidt O/U 0.5 Total RBIs

The first MLB prop bet features Cardinals star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. At 34 years old, Goldschmidt is having a career year, hitting .330 with a 1.028 OPS, both good for 2nd in all of baseball.

Goldschmidt is especially dangerous against left-handed pitching. While facing southpaw opposing pitchers this season, Goldschmidt is hitting an incredible .443, with a 1.367 OPS.

Faced with a left-handed starter in Aaron Ashby (2-10, 4.32 ERA), Goldschmidt is sure to have another hard-hitting game. I’m confident he’ll exit the weekend with a couple more RBIs under his belt.

Prop Bet	Odds
Paul Goldschmidt over 0.5 total runs batted in	+215

Aaron Ashby O/U 4.5 Strikeouts

Speaking of Brewers starting pitcher Aaron Ashby, Sunday’s matchup will feature his second opportunity of the season to face the Cardinals. In their previous matchup on April 17, Ashby gave up 3 runs in 4 innings, although none of the runs were earned.

Ashby has 103 strikeouts in 21 outings this season, averaging about 4.9 strikeouts per game. He only managed to blow by 4 batters in his previous matchup with the Cardinals.

This is a close call, but Ashby managed to strike out 5 or more batters in each of his last 3 outings. The Cardinals’ batting lineup is prone to strikeouts, and I think he’ll make that streak 4 in a row on Sunday.

Prop Bet	Odds
Aaron Ashby over 4.5 strikeouts	+105

Christian Yelich O/U 0.5 Total Hits

Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich continued to struggle in Saturday’s win, going 0 for 4 at the plate. Yelich is hitting just .184 in the month of August thus far.

Yelich has had the opportunity to face Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (8-9, 3.50 ERA) three times this season. In those 3 games, he went 0 for 13 at the plate. Yelich is 5 for 31 (.161) in his career against Mikolas.

With Yelich’s recent struggles at the plate only serving to exacerbate his inability to hit Mikolas, he’s likely to finish Sunday’s matchup with another 0-for. I’m confident in taking the under here.

Prop Bet	Odds
Christian Yelich under 0.5 total hits	-125

Miles Mikolas O/U 3.5 Earned Runs

Mikolas does have a lot of success against Yelich, but his performances against the Brewers as a whole have been up and down. In 18.2 innings pitched against them, he surrendered 9 earned runs, equivalent to a 4.34 ERA.

In his last start on August 9, Mikolas got absolutely hammered by the Rockies. After pitching just 2.2 innings, he gave up a whopping 10 earned runs on 14 hits.

Mikolas is likely to bounce back to some extent on Sunday, but I still expect him to give up a handful of runs in what should be a high-scoring matchup.

Prop Bet	Odds
Miles Mikolas over 3.5 earned runs	-115
