MLB St. Louis Cardinals/Minnesota Twins First 5 Innings Under 4.5 (-110; odds via Caesars): 1:10 pm CST on Bally Sports North
The hope here is that Zebe Matthews can continue his strong start to his major league career, having been good in his first two outings. Especially considering he faced two great lineups and will have to face another one in this one. But the Cardinals are extremely up and down, and after yesterday's shutout loss, it's easy for them to take a dip.
And the Twins are unlikely to put up big numbers here against former White Sox starter Erick Fedde, who had a 0.82 ERA and .175 on-base percentage in two starts against Minnesota this season. This weakened Twins lineup has struggled mightily against right-handed pitching, so expect slow starts from both the Twins and the Cardinals today.

Each day he presents a lock and a degenerate pick, with lock being the game he is most confident in, and degenerate being the more interesting but riskier pick.
