Same-Game Parlay: Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals (2025-06-24)
Bookmaker: BetRivers
Odds: 3.14 (2.0 for Over × 1.57 for Cardinals +1.5)

### Bets Included
1. Over 9.0 Runs (-110)
- Why? The Cardinals have hit the Over in 15 of their last 26 home games. The Cubs’ offense (led by Kyle Tucker, .417 BA, 1.292 OPS in his last 7 games) and the Cardinals’ hot-hitting Alec Burleson (.370 in June) suggest a high-scoring game.

2. St. Louis Cardinals +1.5 Runs (-113)
- Why? The Cardinals are 1.5-run underdogs but have a strong home advantage (15 Over in 26 games at Busch Stadium). Their offense (Burleson’s 4 HRs, 14 RBI in June) and the Cubs’ aggressive lineup create a scenario where the Cards could stay competitive or win outright.

### Key Stats
- Cubs’ Offense: Kyle Tucker’s recent dominance (.417 BA, 1.292 OPS in 7 games).
- Cardinals’ Offense: Alec Burleson’s June tear (.370 BA, 4 HRs, 14 RBI).
- Home Performance: Cardinals have gone Over in 15 of 26 home games.

### Why This Parlay Works
- Over 9.0: The combined firepower of both teams and the Cardinals’ home Over trend make this a strong pick.
- Cardinals +1.5: Even as underdogs, the Cards’ offense and the Cubs’ need to score runs against a lefty (Liberatore) create value in the spread.

Total Implied Probability: ~31.8% (vs. ~28.1% for a Cubs moneyline/Over parlay).
Best Odds: BetRivers offers the highest combined payout (3.14) for this combo.

Final Verdict: A smart, high-reward parlay leveraging the Cardinals’ home Over trend and the game’s projected high-scoring nature.
