Seattle Mariners vs St. Louis Cardinals

Seattle’s George Kirby has the name-brand edge on the hill, but with the Mariners dropping six of their last eight and still missing multiple bats like Brendan Donovan and Patrick Wisdom while the Cardinals come in 14-10 after winning six of their last eight behind a deeper, healthier lineup even without Lars Nootbaar, the value at Busch Stadium lies with a Cardinals moneyline at 138 given that Kirby’s last outing against St. Louis in 2025 saw him give up three runs in four innings and this year’s Cardinals offense has looked more patient and balanced around JJ Wetherholt, Nolan Gorman, and Jordan Walker.

George Kirby and Andre Pallante set up a total of 8 that leans lower when you factor in Kirby’s elite strike-throwing, Pallante’s ground-ball profile, and a Cardinals bullpen that has steadied during their recent surge, plus an 11-15 Seattle club that has been inconsistent on the road despite Julio Rodríguez’s on-base streak and Randy Arozarena’s pop, both lineups missing regulars such as Nootbaar and Donovan, and the fact that last year’s Kirby–Cardinals matchup in Seattle finished 5-3, all of which support an Under 8 at -125 rather than banking on a late offensive breakout.

St. Louis getting 1.5 runs at home looks strong given their 14-10 start and string of close games, a contact-heavy lineup that has been grinding out at-bats even without Lars Nootbaar while the scuffling Mariners at 11-15 lean heavily on Kirby to cover for a taxed bullpen and an offense missing depth pieces like Donovan and Miles Mastrobuoni, and the memory of last season’s meeting where the Cardinals got to Kirby for three runs and were within a swing before losing by two, making the +1.5 with athletic defenders like Masyn Winn and Victor Scott II supporting a solid late-inning group a high-confidence way to back the home side.
