St. Louis Cardinals MLB Prop Bets - Monday 5/6/24

Paul Goldschmidt Over 0.5 RBIs

Willson Contreras Over 1.5 total bases

Kyle Gibson Over 4.5 strikeouts

Paul Goldschmidt

Paul Goldschmidt has been struggling in 2024, with a .208 batting average. However, Goldschmidt remains live for an RBI always, mostly due to his position in the batting order and ability to hit for power. Paul has certainly not been reliable, but the opportunity will be there in this game and the value is too good to pass up.

The Pick: Over 0.5 RBIs

Willson Contreras

A hitter who has not been struggling in Willson Contreras. The Catcher has cooled from his blistering start, but still retains a .275 batting average, .938 OPS, and leads the team with six home runs. Contreras is perhaps the most dependable extra base hitter in the lineup and we like him to collect two bases.

The Pick: Over 1.5 total bases

Kyle Gibson

The best play on the slate may be Kyle Gibson to go over his strikeout number. We think this is one K too short for a pitcher that threw nine and six in his last two games. Against a weaker Mets lineup, this is a fantastic play.

The Pick: Over 4.5 strikeouts
