Yankees vs Cardinals Prediction, Betting Analysis
When the wind is blowing in at specific stadiums known for wind sensitivity, like Busch Stadium, scoring tends to be suppressed due to reduced ball carry.
Betting the Under in these conditions—regardless of whether it's the regular season or postseason—has shown consistent profitability both in the short and long term.
Pick: Under 9
