EPLPrediction: Arizona Diamondbacks VS St. Louis Cardinals 2025-05-23
The battle for NL supremacy is heating up, and what better way to spend a Friday night than watching the Arizona Diamondbacks take on the St. Louis Cardinals? I mean, who needs human interaction when you can stream it on Apple TV+ for $9.99 a month, right?
On a more serious note, the Diamondbacks are looking fierce, led by the MVP-caliber play of Corbin Carroll, who's crushing it with 15 home runs and a .945 OPS. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are riding a hot streak, winning 13 of their last 17 games, thanks in part to the impressive batting average of Brendan Donovan (.323) and the power hitting of Lars Nootbaar (7 home runs).
Now, let's get to the good stuff – the odds. The Diamondbacks are favored on the moneyline, with prices ranging from 1.77 to 1.8 across various bookmakers. The Cardinals, on the other hand, are priced between 2.05 and 2.14. The run line is set at -1.5 for the Diamondbacks, with prices between 2.25 and 2.35, while the Cardinals are +1.5, priced between 1.61 and 1.67.
Given the Diamondbacks' impressive offense, which ranks third in MLB with a .448 slugging percentage and fourth in home runs (70), I'm inclined to take the over on the total runs. The over is priced between 1.82 and 1.85, while the under is priced between 1.97 and 2.03.
My best bet for this matchup is the over 8.5 runs, priced at 1.83 on BetRivers. With the Diamondbacks' potent offense and the Cardinals' recent hot streak, I expect a high-scoring affair. Take the over and enjoy the fireworks at Busch Stadium!
