Picks & predictions

Moneyline pick: St. Louis -110

This one is a pick’em on the moneyline, but St. Louis has the edge on the mound. Williams’ 5.73 ERA will be a tough sell against this Cardinals lineup. They have weapons top to bottom that are primed for a big outing against Williams. The Mets’ bullpen probably has a leg up on the Cards’, but if St. Louis can get the Williams early, they will take the win.

Player prop pick: Nolan Arenado over 0.5 hits (-235)

Arenado heads into this game 4-9 in his career against Williams with two home runs. He is hitting a whopping .312 to start the year and has a good chance of picking up at least one hit in this game.
