Cardinals vs. Giants Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Monday, September 7

At 59-85, the Giants are well on their way to finishing with one of the worst records in baseball. They have a -75 run differential, which is the sixth-lowest mark.

Their lineup has been a problem, ranking 19th in wRC+ (99), per FanGraphs. The pitching staff isn't missing many bats, registering the fourth-lowest strikeout rate (19.7%).

Giants 1B Rafael Devers vs. Cardinals: 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI

  • The former Red Sox standout has launched 35 home runs during his first full campaign with the Giants, marking the third time over the last four years he's reached 33+.
  • Devers owns a .261 ISO and a .358 wOBA in San Francisco.
  • McGreevy has a 3.97 ERA on the year, but his 5.36 xERA indicates that he's far from thriving. Across his last eight starts, he put up a 1.68 WHIP and allowed 33 runs (30 earned) over 39.1 innings.

Cardinals 1B Alec Burleson vs. Giants: 6.5 Hitter Fantasy Score

  • After never posting more than 78 RBIs in a season, Burleson has already driven in 103 runs this year.
  • The 27-year-old is a good contact hitter, maintaining a 17.0% strikeout rate. That could make him an especially difficult matchup for Webb, who has just a 19.2% K-rate.
  • Burleson has a lackluster .737 OPS at home but an .878 OPS on the road.
  • However, he has dominated righties to the tune of a .401 wOBA and a .226 ISO. Against LHP, Burleson has respective marks of .240 and .086.
