Although the Line of 7.5 is low, the below average scoring inning stats by both teams combined with the starting pitcher stats, make the UNDER the play here. It will be fun keeping track of the strikeouts in this game - around 15 maybe

STL is 3-0 against the Mets this season. Looking at their last 12 games, especially and along with the pitching matchup, I see another STL win in a high scoring matchup.

Even with the high ERA in SF's Sanchez, I think this is a low scoring matchup, as both teams are scoring under average. Also Oakland has only scored 4 runs against SF in their last 5 games against them.

Number 1 Versus Number 2 in Both Charts. Couldn't of placed it any better. The problem is that both starting pitchers are performing absolutely great in their last 3 starts. But with the combined 73% and 78% combined for both charts, I just cannot resist not taking the OVER.
