Toronto @ St. Louis picks

Walk props at these prices are hard to ignore and even more when a pitcher is struggling with "fatigue." St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Matthew Liberatore has struggled over his last two turns, where he has allowed 12 runs over nine innings. He left his last start early because of “fatigue” but is making his regular start with an extra day of rest. He’ll face one of the best offenses in baseball over the last 30 days in the Toronto Blue Jays, who don’t strike out and walk at a top-third rate. It’s a hot day at Busch Stadium and fatigue could be a factor again. He has been a great control pitcher this year, but at this price, with some health concerns, and a tough matchup in the heat is in a good spot to get the peak of this market.
