The St. Louis Cardinals (45-41) host the Philadelphia Phillies (45-39) in an early Saturday afternoon contest, with the first pitch set for 2:15 p.m. ET. St. Louis is a -115 favorite (risk $115 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Phillies vs. Cardinals odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under for total runs scored is nine (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page).

Before making any Phillies vs. Cardinals picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is 271-232 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season, returning well over $500 for $100 players. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.

The model knows St. Louis first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is playing lights-out baseball. Goldschmidt owns the power and strength to smack the ball to all parts of the field. The seven-time All-Star is currently second in the league in batting average (.344), third in RBIs (65) and second in OPS (1.045). He's also on a five-game hitting streak. 

The model also knows Philadelphia left fielder Kyle Schwarber has a powerful swing with superb home-run power. Schwarber isn't overly aggressive at the plate and owns a good batter's eye. The 29-year-old is second in the majors in home runs (27) and 10th in RBIs (56). On July 6, he went 3-for-4 with two home runs and two RBIs. 

Now, the model has set its sights on Phillies vs. Cardinals. We can tell you the model is leaning under the total, and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value. You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
