Astros vs. Cardinals (1:15 PM, EST)

Cardinals Moneyline (-105) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Astros take on the Cardinals in the last game of the series, and I think St. Louis has a huge advantage. St. Louis led all of baseball in team batting average, hitting .285 in 2025, and I see this continuing on Wednesday.

Ronel Blanco gets the start for Houston. This season, he is 1-1 with a 6.94 ERA in 11.2 innings. 

The Cardinals will go with Steven Matz, who has a 2.31 ERA in 2025, as he has been really solid. In 11.2 innings, he has fanned six batters. 

Ivan Herrera leads the Cardinals on offense, hitting .381 with four home runs to start the season. I expect him to come through in a big moment and carry St. Louis to a victory in this matchup.

Cubs vs. Padres (4:10 PM, EST)

Padres Moneyline (-125) at Caesars Sportsbook

The 11-8 Cubs take on the 14-3 Padres, who are the hottest baseball team right now. Matthew Boyd gets the start for Chicago against Nick Pivetta and the Padres. 

It’s hard to ignore San Diego's hot start, which is why I think they have an advantage in this spot. Fernando Tatis is mashing the baseball, and I don’t see him stopping anytime soon. 

Boyd is 1-1 with a 1.59 ERA in 2025, but will now be challenged. In 17 innings, Boyd has 17 strikeouts to go with seven walks. 

Pivetta is 2-1 with a 1.59 ERA this season. He has fanned 18 batters in 17 innings while walking only four. 

If Pivetta keeps up his hot start, the Cubs will struggle in this matchup. I trust San Diego’s bats to get the job done.

Giants vs. Phillies (6:45 PM, EST)

Phillies Moneyline (-145) at Caesars Sportsbook

Robbie Ray and the Giants square off against Aaron Nola and the Phillies. Nola is 0-3 on the season, and I expect him to get in the win column. 

San Francisco is off to a hot start at 12-4, and Robbie Ray is undefeated. He is 3-0 with a 2.93 ERA, but Philadelphia will challenge him in this matchup. 

The Phillies are 9-7 to start 2025 and about to get hot. Nola hasn't won a game this season but is due for a win. 

Philadelphia is hitting .236 as a team, the 14th best in baseball, which should improve as the season develops. San Francisco is hitting .226 as a team, so they’re slightly worse than the Phillies.
