Game Snapshot  
Matchup: St. Louis Cardinals vs Los Angeles Dodgers  
Pick: St. Louis Cardinals Moneyline (+245)  
Alternative: St. Louis Cardinals +1.5 Run Line (+109)  
Scope: Full Game  
Key Difference: St. Louis Cardinals +1.5 also cashes on a one-run loss; the moneyline does not.

Bet St. Louis Cardinals moneyline at +245 if your goal is the larger return that comes only with an outright Cardinals win.

Here’s the settlement reality: a one-run Cardinals loss can still cash the +1.5 line, but the moneyline doesn’t—4–3 and the win-only ticket is dead.

That’s the whole exchange: +245 requires the Cardinals to win the full game, while +109 on the +1.5 is built to pay even if St. Louis loses by one. If you hesitate because +245 feels “harder to hit,” you’re reading it correctly—the bigger listed payout is attached to the stricter condition, and that’s exactly why the moneyline is the right primary wager when you’re buying upside rather than one-run-loss protection.

Pass unless BetPhoenix offers St. Louis Cardinals moneyline at +245 or better.
