Braves vs Cardinals Picks and Odds - July 10, 2026

-160O/U: 8
(-110/-110)+140

Mike Yastrzemski – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
Mike Yastrzemski is an extreme flyball batter and faces the weak outfield defense of St. Louis (#3-worst of all teams today).
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Kyle Leahy – Over/Under Pitching Outs
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Kyle Leahy to throw 85 pitches in this game (10th-least of the day), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.
Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
Jose Fermin – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)
Jose Fermin will have the handedness advantage over Chris Sale today… and even better, Sale has a huge platoon split.
Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Jordan Walker – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
Jordan Walker hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (40.1% — 98th percentile) and is fortunate to face the league’s 7th-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
