Major League Baseball Betting Picks, DFS Plays – May 1
Gambling911.com has your Major League Baseball betting picks for May 1.
Cardinals -138 St. Louis is 7-3 vs. Pittsburgh and 12-3 overall while the Pirates are just 3-14 in the last 17 meetings in St. Louis. The home team has also won 8 of the last 10 in this series.
Pirates RH A.J. Burnett (0-1, 1.80 ERA) but has given up a combined five home runs in 29 at-bats to Cardinals newcomers Jason Heyward and Mark Reynolds, making both some excellent plays for daily fantasy aficionados.
Cardinals RH Lance Lynn (1-2, 3.63) had permitted one earned run in each of his first three starts and recorded 26 strikeouts against seven walks this season. His last outing was a disaster so we would anticipate Lynn getting back to form here. He is 5-3 with a 4.71 ERA in 15 appearances (13 starts) against Pittsburgh.
