Cubs vs. Cardinals Sharp Picks, Best Bets & Predictions August 3: High Scoring is Expected

Cubs vs. Cardinals Best MLB Bets, Expert Picks for August 3

7:45pm ET

Alex here, and I’m giving out my top picks in this betting preview. My MLB bets for Wednesday, August 3 are money, so hit them!

I’ll be giving out my sharpest MLB plays in this preview. I’m looking at the Chicago Cubs vs. St Louis Cardinals game on Wednesday, August 3. Barring any delays, this game will begin at 7:45pm ET. Sharp action has been coming in on the Chicago Cubs, with 57% of all bets coming in on them so far. Pretty crazy, right?

The over/under is currently at 8. On DraftKings, the over 8 total runs is at -115 odds, and the under is priced at -105. Lines can always move, so make sure to check OddsJam to get the best price (e.g. odds) in your location. This is essential as a serious sports bettor. If you want to make money, then you need to shop lines.

Different locations have different sportsbooks that are legal & regulated, so you may be able to get a better price (e.g. line) than DraftKings. Always get the best betting line by checking the OddsJam MLB Odds page. My number one tip for sports bettors is to line shop and get the best betting line.

My only job is to help sports bettors make profits. It’s a pretty great job if you ask me. Sports betting is time intensive, but you can make money with the OddsJam sports betting software. That’s the the #1 betting tool for sharp bettors.

I don’t have a baseball betting pick on the Chicago Cubs vs. St Louis Cardinals full game total. The run line is set at 1.5, with the Cardinals the favorites, which is not surprising.

For the Cubs vs. Cardinals game on August 3, the Cardinals are favorites on the moneyline. They are -170 moneyline odds on DraftKings sportsbook. The Cubs are the dogs in this matchup. They are +145 moneyline odds on DraftKings sportsbook. The Cubs will need to pull off the upset.

Remember that all prices (e.g. odds) given out in this betting preview were from DraftKings (DK sportsbook). DraftKings is one of the best sportsbooks in the United States & Ontario, Canada. They’re one of my personal favorites. They have a $1,000 sign-up bonus for all new users, too. That’s an awesome bonus.

Official Pick: Bet the Yes Run First Inning (e.g. “Over 0.5 Total Runs 1st Inning”). I hit this Positive EV play at +100 odds.
