The Los Angeles Angels (40-61) and St. Louis Cardinals (51-48) continue their interleague series following a tight 3-2 victory for Los Angeles Monday. First pitch for this affair is scheduled for 6:38 PM PT / 9:38 PM ET at Angel Stadium. You can catch the broadcast on CARD and ABTV.
The Halos are favorites to win in the MLB odds, with their starting pitcher Walbert Urena faring much better on the campaign than the Cards’ Matthew Liberatore. Currently, the home squad is last in the American League, while the road unit is holding down the third and final Wild Card spot in the NL. Keep reading for my preview and picks for this contest.
Best Cardinals vs Angels Player Props & Predictions
- Pick #1 : Matthew Liberatore Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+115 via BetMGM)
I’m going straight to the MLB player props market for this matchup, and honing in on Matthew Liberatore’s strikeout total. If you shop around the MLB betting apps, BetMGM offers Liberatore’s strikeout total at 5.5. Taking the over at this number flies against a recent trend.

Liberatore has failed to crack the 6+ total in six of his last eight outings. However, he’s going up against an Angels lineup that’s been abysmal, striking out the most in MLB. Additionally, on the campaign, Liberatore 88 K’s in 93.2 innings of work, so I like his chances of going over, despite recent trends.
Pick 2: Jorge Soler Under 1.5 Total Bases (-172 at Caesars)
I’m fading the power-hitting Jorge Soler for my second selection. Despite his reputation as an extra-base threat, Soler has been neutralized at home over the past couple of weeks. He is 0-7 versus a total bases line of 1.5 over his last seven home games.
He has also failed to surpass 1.5 total bases in five consecutive games regardless of venue. Given that he requires either a multi-hit game or a single extra-base hit to beat this number, his current 0% success rate over his last seven home appearances makes this under an extremely appealing track to bet.

Cardinals vs Angels Injury Report
Checking the MLB weather report closer to first pitch is crucial. Anaheim typically provides stable, mild playing conditions during the summer. Tonight is no exception, as there’s a heat advisory in effect, so baseballs might be flying out of Angel Stadium, with runs aplenty in this duel.
