$FML's MLB Best Bet for Tuesday Night - 4/4

FastMoneyLabs is back for Tuesday night baseball with this MLB Best Bet!

Which team has the most hits, least strikeouts ranks #1 in on-base percentage (OBP), and has a 167 weighted runs created+ (wRC+) statistic so far? (+67% vs. league average)

You guessed it, and we’re betting on ‘em! Wagering St. Louis to cover the First 5 Innings Team Total is a cool 4-0 so far. If the birds are hungry for another feast… the table is set!

They absolutely pantsed left-handed pitching last season and get fresh meat in that department today. Dylan Dodd is a rookie prospect making his MLB debut in an emergency spot start for Max Fried (IL). I wish him the best (since I’m a nice guy) but frankly, this is a tough test! He spent most of last year in A/AA and only has 1 AAA start to his name! He’s got potential, but the Cards might be the best offense in baseball this year — especially against lefties.

I prefer the F5 team total angle to isolate the pitching matchup! If your book doesn’t offer, consider pivoting to the full game Team Total (up to 5), First 5 Innings Run Line or full-game ML.

Bonus: Busch Stadium weather forecast is favorable for bats! Expect warm temps & 15-20 MPH winds blowing out to left field.
