Good Morning!
Another great day for the A.I. Smart Sports Betting crew as we cashed 2 out of 3 bets last night.
This nice little streak has allowed us to cash 7 of our last 8 bets.
Baseball season can feel long and drawn out. It also provides so much opportunity to cash bets, though!
Embrace the grind!

The St. Louis Cardinals (10-14) will face the Atlanta Braves (9-14) on Wednesday at 12:15 p.m. EDT in Atlanta.
Starting Pitchers:
Cardinals: Miles Mikolas (0-2, 7.64 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, 11 strikeouts)
Braves: Bryce Elder (0-1, 7.20 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, 10 strikeouts)
Betting Lines:
Moneyline: Braves -163, Cardinals +138
Over/Under: 8.5 runs
Analysis:
Braves’ Strengths:
The Braves have a solid 7-3 record at home, and they are 7-1 in games when they score at least five runs, showcasing their offensive potential.
Marcell Ozuna and Austin Riley are key contributors, with Ozuna leading the team in batting average and walks, while Riley has been producing power with 4 home runs in the last 10 games.
Bryce Elder has struggled with a 7.20 ERA and 1.53 WHIP, but his ability to manage games could still give the Braves an advantage over a Cardinals team with similar pitching struggles.
Cardinals’ Struggles:
The Cardinals have had a tough time on the road with a 2-10 record, which could be a disadvantage against the Braves. However, they have a strong 10-6 record in games when they out-hit their opponents.
Miles Mikolas has had a rough start to the season with a 7.64 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. His struggles on the mound could prove costly against a potent Braves lineup.
Betting Recommendations:
Moneyline: The Braves are favored at -163, but given Mikolas’ struggles and the Braves’ home advantage, they are likely the safer pick. The Cardinals at +138 might provide some value as underdogs if you believe they can overcome the pitching issues.
Total: The over/under is set at 8.5 runs. Considering both teams have been hitting well and both starting pitchers have struggled, betting on the over 8.5 runs seems like a reasonable option.
Conclusion: Betting on the over 8.5 runs offers good value, considering the Braves’ offensive power and Mikolas’ struggles on the mound.
