Leading into Wednesday’s National League matchup between St. Louis and San Diego, the Padres have a slight edge on the moneyline. Look for the Cardinals’ offensive struggles to continue against Blake Snell, who aside from a tough outing vs the Dodgers has been excellent of late. I recommend taking the Padres on the moneyline.
