Las Vegas has the home-team Giants favored at odds of -121, while the total is set quite low at only 7 runs. These National League contenders met up 6 times during the regular season with each winning 3 times. St. Louis took 2 of 4 games played in San Francisco in mid-August during the most recent series, while the under was a winner in 2 of the 3 most recent head-to-head meetings between these teams.
Right-hander Lance Lynn (19-8, 1.32 WHIP, 3.86 ERA) will get the honor of starting for the Cardinals on Sunday, but he’s been a bit iffy lately. Lynn has allowed 4 or more earned runs in 5 of his last 10 starts, yet the Cardinals have won 6 straight in which he’s taken the mound. Lynn faced the Giants back in August and gave up 4 earned runs off 8 hits and 3 walks over 6.0 innings pitched.
Left-hander Madison Bumgarner (16-12, 1.13 WHIP, 3.47 ERA) has drawn the start for the Giants in game 1 of the National League Championship Series. Bumgarner has also fallen apart recently while allowing 4 or more earned runs in 6 of his last 8 starts. He has pitched twice against the Cardinals in losing efforts this season while allowing 7 earned runs off 10 hits and 1 walk over 13.1 innings.
