Odds from bet365
Mets vs. Cardinals Parlay Pick No. 1: NRFI (-115)
NRFI
We're bucking the trend and doubling down on the NRFI angle in this lineup. Griffin Canning, with a 3-0 NRFI record to start the season, showcases his reliability in the first inning. On the flip side, Andre Pallante frustrates active Mets hitters, limiting their slugging percentage and OPS. Considering the Cardinals' chilly first-inning bats and Griffin Canning's comfort, an NRFI at -115 feels like a solid bet.

Juan Soto OVER 0.5 Total Bases
Mets vs. Cardinals Parlay Pick No. 2: Soto OVER 0.5 Total Bases (-185)
-185
Despite his less-than-impressive start, Soto is still the Juan Soto this league has come to know and fear. Elite zone control and bat-to-ball skills ensure he's got a fighting chance. Even a single hit suffices, and going up against a middling Cardinals pitching staff feels like a smart call.
He's been good in this matchup before: 3-0 on the OVER in his last three career games vs. St. Louis. At -185, I'm willing to take the gamble, as one of the league's top bats guns for a bounce-back.
Griffin Canning OVER 4.5 Strikeouts

Mets vs. Cardinals Parlay Pick No. 3: Canning UNDER 4.5 Ks (-122)
Overall
Here's the real deal. The Cardinals' lineup is smoking hot right now, and they're uncommonly resistant to whiffs. Nolan Arenado, the King of Feast, has shown an unparalleled affinity for crushing baseballs thrown by left-handers. Griffin Canning may be decent in the first inning, but he's not a high-strikeout pitcher, especially against a contact-focused lineup like this. The Cardinals are seeing the ball well, and Canning is more likely to serve up contact than punchouts.
