Braves vs. Cardinals on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball Odds (06-20-2021)

At the beginning of the season, the Braves were the popular baseball betting odds Pick to win the National League East. And that was an understandable wagering sentiment. Atlanta is the three-time defending National League East Division champion. So far, the Braves are one of the biggest money losers on the board. Atlanta’s bullpen has become a crisis as one of the worst in the game. In like manner, the Cardinals were favored to win the NL Central. St. Louis is off two consecutive playoff campaigns. But the Redbirds are struggling on the diamond and at the betting window.

St. Louis Cardinals at Atlanta Braves Betting Odds Analysis

Namely, the Braves are one of the most popular teams on any offshore bookmaker board. Atlanta is respected as a regular postseason contender. As the home team, they’ll get massive casual support. St. Louis has a big fan base too. But a struggling team on the road has no public appeal. Sharps may give the Cards a peek based on potential and price.

St. Louis Cardinals Overview

Late on, the Cardinals dropped seven of their previous ten. Five of their last eight games cleared the total. St. Louis is 34-33 straight up, 34-33 vs. the run line, and 33-30-3 over the total. To summarize, the Cardinals rank 20th for run production and 18th for earned run average.
