### Why This Parlay?
- Cardinals -1.5 Spread (-198):
The Cardinals are a strong offensive team (4.5 R/G) and face a Nationals staff with a 5.17 ERA (28th in MLB). Andre Pallante (4.10 ERA) vs. Jake Irvin (likely to struggle) favors St. Louis. The -1.5 line is manageable given their 10th-ranked offense.

- Under 8.5 Total Runs (1.85):
The Nationals rank 28th in ERA (5.17), and the Cardinals rank 19th in team ERA (4.09). Combined, they’re unlikely to exceed 8.5 runs. The Under is priced at +85 (1.85), implying a 54.3% chance, which aligns with their defensive strengths.

Profit Potential: A $100 bet returns $551 (including stake) if both legs win.
