Cardinals vs Rays Same Game Parlay Picks (Aug 22nd, 2025)

Every pick focuses on players who excel either at home plate or while visiting unfamiliar ballparks. Multi-base performances from both sides reinforce the overall team total play for St. Louis as well. Hitters like Brandon Lowe and Nolan Gorman provide added upside through long-ball potential, supporting the logic behind loading up on bases prop angles.

Pick 1: Team Total – St. Louis Cardinals Over 4.5 – +105

The Cardinals' offense exploded previously scoring five runs during single-inning burst—a feat underscored by balanced contributions throughout top-to-bottom roster suggesting another strong scoring performance possible considering hot streaks currently enjoyed among central lineup figures reinforced further tonight given projected platoon advantages plus opportunity capitalize off any lapses shown historically Tampa bullpen once stretched beyond initial innings workload.

Pick 2: Player Bases – Alec Burleson Over 1.5 – -110

Alec Burleson enters having failed to connect safely far too frequently lately—four hitless showings among eight latest games played outside St Louis—but regression suggests positive correction is likely soon due simply because underlying metrics indicate better batted-ball quality than results reflect right now so expecting him exceeding one-and-a-half bases is plausible particularly if red-hot batters surrounding offer greater pitch selectivity boosting hittable situations.

Pick 3: Player Bases – Brandon Lowe Over 1.5 – -105

Brandon Lowe remains dangerous whenever stationed atop Rays batting order especially inside familiar confines where he's belted homers four different times over eleven-game window adding significant upside every trip around as opposing hurlers forced attack zone more directly than desired helping elevate odds additional multi-base day unfolds naturally factoring left-handed swing exploits short fence distances particular segments stadium layout.

Pick 4: Player Bases – Lars Nootbaar Over 1.5 – +115

Lars Nootbaar steps into this spot after racking up two-plus hits five times across just six most-recent trips outside Busch Stadium showing clear comfort hitting away from home despite various opposing pitchers plus park conditions favoring offense rather than defense right now which aligns perfectly alongside a surging Cardinals order expected again tonight—helpful if momentum carries forward following several high-scoring efforts.

Pick 5: Player Bases – Nolan Gorman Over 1.5 – +180

Nolan Gorman's surge includes three homers across only eight prior Cardinal travels suggesting that raw pop can translate even versus tough arms encountered ahead; even single solid swings could net enough production needed here making climbing above one-and-a-half total bases very much within reach provided he maintains aggressive approach seen throughout much of summer campaign combining patience paired explosiveness already proven effective under pressure-packed moments before larger crowds like those anticipated Thursday night.

Pick 6: Player Bases – Willson Contreras Over 1.5 – +115

Willson Contreras thrives as part of the lineup when it comes to generating extra-base output especially amid prolonged travel schedules evidenced by clearing four total bases in half of his previous eight opportunities on foreign dirt giving credence toward another strong individual showing here leveraging friendly dimensions along with increased RBI chances supported further by table-setting teammates reaching ahead regularly.

Pick 7: Player Bases – Chandler Simpson Over 1.5 – +110

Chandler Simpson’s ability to rack up hits has been especially notable during Ray’s home stretches lately. In four out of his past six games played at Steinbrenner Field he notched multiple base knocks each time out there against visiting pitching staffs that struggled to contain him early and late in counts alike making this prop appealing given current form combined with favorable matchups versus Cardinals’ arms aiming to limit traffic but failing repeatedly.
