A midweek evening at Busch Stadium often rewards sharp eyes for emerging player momentum. On August 8th, St. Louis and Chicago renew their rivalry in an NL Central tilt where key batters have demonstrated notable production trends.

Matt Shaw’s ability to reach base on the highway has been impressive lately, while Alec Burleson thrives when hitting in front of his hometown crowd. Recent performances suggest this MLB meeting could favor those targeting productive hitters over conventional narratives. MLB same game parlay picks today.

Cubs vs Cardinals Same Game Parlay Picks (Aug 8th, 2025)

This combination focuses on hitters from both lineups who have shown reliable numbers in specific contexts like bases and hits. Selecting bases props for Shaw and Burleson aligns with their home or away consistency at the plate. Adding a hit prop for Swanson leverages his propensity to deliver impactful swings during Cubs’ travels.

Pick 1: Player Hits – Dansby Swanson Over 0.5 – -210

Dansby Swanson is proving effective whenever the Cubs travel as demonstrated by three homers struck across eight most-recent away dates; such aggressive intent can yield not just long balls but regular singles too especially if thrown hittable fastballs inside hitter-friendly parks like this one now—a basic expectation remains very achievable given expected plate appearances atop lineup alongside fellow well-performing sticks.

Pick 2: Player Bases – Alec Burleson Over 1.5 – +150

Alec Burleson returns to familiar surroundings riding positive splits when swinging inside Busch Stadium walls since July began—seven out of nine times he’s reached safely via base knocks there during that stretch show he adjusts quickly before local fans each outing now too; considering matchups versus visiting pitchers prone to early traffic aboard plus better visibility playing under stadium lights at dusk all point toward additional opportunities stacking up again Thursday night against Chicago arms.

Pick 3: Player Bases – Matt Shaw Over 1.5 – +160

Matt Shaw steps into Busch Stadium after stringing together multi-hit outings away from home this season. He has produced at least one hit in eight of his last ten games played outside Wrigley Field, underlining comfort against unfamiliar pitching staffs as a visitor. The Cardinals’ rotation hasn’t stifled right-handed bats as much lately either, which bodes well for Shaw’s approach here. Given these factors and the volatility within St Louis's bullpen late in games, there's plenty working toward another productive night.
