Parlay: St. Louis Cardinals VS Pittsburgh Pirates 2025-07-01

Best Same-Game Parlay: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates (2025-07-01)
Bookmaker: BetOnline.ag
Bets:
1. Pittsburgh Pirates Moneyline (+150 implied probability ≈ 61.7%)
2. Over 7.0 Runs (Implied probability ≈ 52.3%)

Combined Odds: 1.62 (Pirates ML) × 1.91 (Over) = 3.10 (≈32.3% implied probability).

Why This Works:
- The Pirates are strong favorites (1.62) after winning the first game 7-0 and scoring ≥7 runs in four straight.
- Their offense faces Erick Fedde (4.11 ERA), who’s projected to allow just 0.7 hits to Cardinals’ Contreras (struggling with <2 hits in 5/6 games).
- The Over is tempting despite Fedde’s 4.11 ERA, as the Pirates’ offense is red-hot, and Fedde’s 4.48 ERA against lefties (Pirates’ lineup) suggests vulnerability.

Key Stat:
- Pirates have scored ≥7 runs in 4 straight games, while the Cardinals’ offense is hitting just 0.7 hits/game from Contreras.

Avoid: Pirates -1.5 + Over (4.45 odds) due to low edge (22.5% implied vs. 22.4% actual probability).

Final Verdict:
Take Pirates ML + Over 7.0 Runs at BetOnline.ag for a 3.10 return. The Pirates’ offensive fire and Fedde’s shaky lefty matchups make this parlay a smart play.

“The Pirates are cooking on all cylinders, and Fedde’s got a target on his back. Bet the Over like it’s 2024.” — The SportsLine’s MLB Whisperer
