Cardinals to lose by fewer than 1.5 runs

The Cardinals are seven games over .500 but still 7.5 games behind the Brewers and 1.5 behind the Cubs in the NL Central. Chicago is 9-11 over its past 20 games.

Braves to win vs. Mets

The Mets have been struggling all season, but the NL East-leading Braves are in quite a funk of their own. They have won just three of their past 11 games, but one of those came Friday night in the series opener with New York. They won that one 5-3, and now they expect to start ace left-hander Chris Sale (8-6, 2.10 ERA), while the Mets counter with struggling lefty Sean Manaea (1-3, 4.71). Atlanta is winning in a whopping 66% of the model's simulations, earning the pick an 'A' grade, and you can trade on the Braves to win for just $0.61 per share on Kalshi. Trade on Mets-Braves and more MLB with the latest Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS:

Giants vs. Rockies fewer than 11.5 total runs

A pair of pitchers with winning records face off Saturday in Denver, and the SportsLine model isn't expecting a ton of runs. The teams combine for fewer than 11.5 in 58% of the model simulations, but that trade will cost you only $0.48 per share at Kalshi. The Giants will send out left-hander Robbie Ray (7-6, 3.39 ERA) to face Rockies right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano (8-4, 4.80).  Colorado won the series opener 15-3, the third straight victory for the Rockies and the third loss in four games for the Giants. Trade on Giants-Rockies with the latest Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS:

Padres to lose by fewer than 1.5 runs vs. Dodgers

The Dodgers are simply rolling, going 13-4 in their past 17 games, and seek a third victory in this four-game series that ends Sunday. They squeaked out a 4-3 victory on Friday night, and the model sees this matchup being pretty close, as well. San Diego is losing by fewer than 1.5 runs (or winning) in 61% of model simulations and shares on 'No' for L.A. to win by 1.5 or more are priced at $0.48 each at Kalshi. Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto (8-5, 2.67 ERA) is set to start for L.A. against San Diego's Griffin Canning (1-5, 7.09). Use the latest Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS to trade on Padres-Dodgers:
