Shota Imanaga (CHC) Over 17.5 Outs (-130)
Cubs ML (-126)
Under 4.5 Runs – 1st 5 Innings (-145)
Cubs vs Cardinals Same Game Parlay odds: +288
Shota Imanaga (CHC) Over 17.5 Outs (-130)
If I could choose my top player prop bet for Cubs vs Cardinals tonight, Shota Imanaga over 17.5 outs would be it. After getting blitzed for seven runs versus the woeful White Sox, Imanaga has bounced back with two phenomenal performances against division foes. In his last start, Imanaga pitched into the 7th inning, allowing just one run on three hits.
It will be a hot one in St. Louis, which will be a test for Imanaga, but I’m willing to back him to get through 6 innings tonight against a lineup that only registered one hit against him on June 26th.

Under 4.5 Runs – 1st 5 Innings (-145)
I’m expecting a pitcher’s duel on Sunday, with Sonny Gray having his best stuff against a Cubs lineup that has not seen him this year – Rare to have not faced off against a division foe this late into the season. So, we’re going to back the 1st 5 innings under at 4.5 runs – A number that is well on its way to 3.5 with these two arms on the mound.

Chicago Cubs ML over Cincinnati Reds (-126)
To conclude our 3-leg Sunday Night baseball parlay between the Cubs and Cardinals, we’re backing the Cubs to pull out a victory and keep pace with the surging Milwaukee Brewers, who are on a 6-game win streak and own the best record in baseball.
Both pitchers are capable of going deep into this game, especially with owning BB% that rank in the 94th and 99th percentile in all of baseball. Nonetheless, the Cardinals will continue their homestand after tonight, with a series against the dreadful Colorado Rockies. Could the Cardinals be looking ahead to that series? Maybe not, but I trust this Cubs lineup to potentially get to Gray late, who has an outs line of 17.5 with vig on the under, and then the Cardinals bullpen on the road.
