Date/Time: Wed, Oct 17 / 04:10:00 PM ET,l Busch Stadium, St. Louis, MissouriAfter Matt Holiday’s brutal slide on Marco Scutaro in game 2 of the national League Championship Series, the Cards’ left fielder and the Giants’ second basement have undoubtedly taken the spotlight heading into this afternoon’s game 3, making it one of the most exciting postseason games for players betting on MLB baseball odds.
The questions being asked on all the big online sportsbook forums is whether Scutaro will be able to play—and be successful—with a strained left hip.
Holiday took him out with a late slight in game 2, and a lot of online baseball bettors are speculating that Giants could retaliate with a poorly aimed ball against Holliday’s backside (or perfectly aimed, depending which side of the baseball betting fence you sit on).
PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Matt Cain (1-1, 5.06 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Kyle Lohse (1-0, 2.13)
Taking the mound for the Giants is Matt Cain. He’s had difficulties facing the Cardinals so sports bettors aren’t convinced tonight’s game will go his way. In two starts this season, he gave up 9 earned runs in just shy of 12 innings.
The Cardinals send Kyle Lohse to stare down Giants. Many online baseball bettors are calling this his best regular season year—and his 16-3 record with a 2.86 ERA is proof of that. Lohse also has an extra day’s rest—he last played against Washington on Thursday.
However, sportsbook aficionados, especially those who bet on baseball regularly, will know that Lohse hasn’t faced the Giants this season, so anything can happen.
Tonight’s matchup between the Giants and the Cardinals could feature some record setters. If the Giants’ Angel Pagan hits another leadoff homerun, he’ll become the first Giant with three leadoff homers in a single postseason.
Game Odds:
San Francisco Giants: +1½ -220, ML +110
St. Louis Cardinals: 1½+180, ML -130
Game Total: 7, o/-105, u/-115
