NL Wild Card Game 1: Phillies vs. Cardinals Preview

The St. Louis Cardinals are set to play host to the Philadelphia Phillies for Game 1 of their three-game wild card series today from Busch Stadium.

Philadelphia Phillies (-110) vs. St. Louis Cardinals (-106) Total: 6.5 (O -128, U +104)

St. Louis and Philadelphia have a history against one another in the postseason, with the last time these teams met taking us back to the Cardinals’ World Series win in 2011. The Red Birds spoiled the Phillies’ party, and The City of Brotherly Love hasn’t been back to the dance since. Down the stretch, the Phillies did everything they could to sink their playoff hopes, but they snuck into the playoffs and will face off with the NL Central champs.
