Cardinals vs White Sox G1 MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 19)

First pitch is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. CT (3:10 p.m. ET) at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Cardinals (38–35) travel to the South Side to face the struggling White Sox (23–50) in the opener of today’s traditional doubleheader.

• Wednesday’s game was postponed; the doubleheader features Cardinals’ Erick Fedde and newcomer Michael McGreevy vs. White Sox’s Sean Burke and Mike Vasil.
• St. Louis has dropped two straight but remains above .500; Chicago trails at 23–50 and has lost six in a row.
• Cardinals rank third in batting average (.257) and ninth in runs/game, while the White Sox are last at .222 and among the lowest in runs scored.

St. Louis Cardinals Player Prop Pick: Erick Fedde

The Cardinals boast a strong average (.257) and solid offensive output. Erick Fedde (3–6, 3.65 ERA, 51 strikeouts) leads Game 1; he’s not overpowering but keeps hitters in the zone. St. Louis often limits mistakes and dominates contact play.

• Fedde averages just over six strikeouts per nine innings and topped five only in higher-pressure outings.
• Facing a contact-heavy White Sox lineup, he’s unlikely to blow past the strikeout mark.
• His approach relies on inducing weak contact and pitch-to-contact strategies.

Chicago White Sox Player Prop Pick: Sean Burke

Chicago enters this contest in free fall, with a team ERA near 4.23, high WHIP (1.41), and the league’s worst batting average (.222). Sean Burke has been inconsistent, and their lineup provides few threats.

• Burke (3–7, 4.71 ERA) recently allowed seven earned runs in less than four innings.
• Chicago’s ERA sits near 4.23; Burke finds his difficulty compounded by this lineup.
• The Cardinals average 4.7 runs per game and should provide early offensive support.
