A Fox News sports betting column recommends backing the "under" in the total runs line for the upcoming Chicago Cubs versus St Louis Cardinals game, pointing to the pitching matchup between the Cubs' Matthew Boyd and the Cardinals' Dustin May as the reason to expect a lower-scoring contest. The piece forms part of a regular betting picks column in which the author tracks their recent win-loss record on MLB wagers.

The article notes the writer had a mixed run of results heading into this pick, including two losses on games that finished 3-2 and a moneyline win backing the Miami Marlins after a strong outing from pitcher Sandy Alcantara. Based on the strength of Boyd and May as starters, the author's recommendation for the Cubs-Cardinals fixture is to bet on the total combined runs finishing under 8.
