Slated to take the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals is RHP Adam Wainwright. There is no denying that it has been a tough campaign for the 41-year-old, who is 3-1 with a 5.57 ERA and 1.67 WHIP through eight starts.
I am not the most optimistic about Wainwright’s increase in production anytime soon, but I am interested in buying low on him in the strikeout department — where his total is set at a mere 3.5 for this contest with plus money on the Over. More than anything else, this play is a fade of the Chicago Cubs’ strikeout-prone lineup.
The Cubbies revamped their roster while making several key offseason additions, most notably adding Dansby Swanson, Cody Bellinger, and Trey Mancini. However, that group has only added to Chicago’s strikeout problem.
In 2022, the Cubs finished 22nd in the league in K rate when facing right-handed pitching. This year, they rank 24th in the same category.
Looking at Saturday’s projected starting lineup, five of the nine hitters possess a K rate north of 21% this season, and those strikeout woes could continue against Wainwright.
Over his past 14 starts against Chicago, the righty is 5-5 with a 3.33 ERA while averaging 4.2 strikeouts per game.  My best bet: Adam Wainwright Over 3.5 strikeouts (+105) Cubs vs Cardinals same-game parlay Wainwright Over 3.5 Ks Under 14.5 Cardinals ML This same-game parlay builds upon itself. I already covered the first leg in the best bet section above, but let me break down the other two.
You may notice that the total is extremely high for a MLB game, which is a product of playing at a relatively smaller London Stadium and in hitter-friendly weather conditions. With that said, 14 or 14.5 feels like an over-correction, especially given that the fences have been lengthened since the last time the MLB traveled to this stadium in 2019.
A great breakdown of this stadium by Derek Carty can be found here:  ????/THREAD The #STLCards and #NextStartsHere play in London this weekend... and anyone who thinks they have any idea how this park is going to play is fooling themself. Here's everything we DO and DON'T KNOW about London Stadium... — Derek Carty (@DerekCarty) June 23, 2023 Lastly, a lower-scoring game in which Wainwright pitches strongly should benefit the Cardinals. The biggest hurdle to get over for St. Louis is the Justin Steele vs. Wainwright pitching matchup, but if Wainwright holds his own, then this matchup gets much closer than the –130/+110 odds indicate.
