St. Louis Cardinals DFS Spin
Cardinals center fielder Victor Scott II drove in one-third of his team’s runs in their 7-6 loss to the Braves on Monday. The 24-year-old left-handed hitter went 3 for 4 with a double, 2 RBIs, a stolen base, and a run scored. For the season, Scott is batting .264 with 1 homer, 9 RBIs, 8 steals, and an OPS of .700. Victor Scott II is hitting .294 in night games this season, making him an interesting DFS option on Tuesday.
Atlanta Braves DFS Spin
Braves third baseman Austin Riley reached base 3 times in his team’s 7-6 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday. The 6’2” right-handed hitter went 2 for 3 with a homer, 2 RBIs, a walk, and 2 runs scored. Riley is hitting .278 with 6 homers, 15 RBIs, and an OPS of .838 this year. The Memphis native is batting .349 over his past 15 games.

Cardinals vs. Braves Betting Prediction
I like the Cardinals to cover the run line in this game. St. Louis is 11-10 ATS when playing an opponent on equal rest and 11-9 ATS in non-division games this season. The Cardinals will start right-hander Andre Pallante in this game. The 26-year-old California native is quietly having a good season. Pallante is 2-1 this year with a 3.22 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP, and a .207 batting average against. I like his chances to pitch well enough for St. Louis to hang in this game and either win it outright or lose by 1 run. The pick is St. Louis +1.5 at -125 odds on the run line over Atlanta at Bovada.lv.
