1. St. Louis Cardinals at San Francisco Giants — SF +1.5 Strong
The market opened at 1.5 on the home side, but our projected margin is far enough from that number to flag value. The recommendation is SF +1.5, an edge of about 1.7 runs in our favor. For the over/under, our pace-adjusted projection lands near 7.7 runs against the posted 7.5. That's too tight to bet with confidence — the total is best left alone here.
